Report
Summary
The Public Works Department will purchase an asphalt distribution system for a 2,000 Fog Oil Tanker Truck on behalf of the Street Transportation Department. The existing cab and chassis will remain in operation with the new asphalt distributor system. The model selected, BC-502, is an industry standard and replacing the asphalt unit will extend the useful life of the 16-year-old vehicle.
Procurement Information
A determination has been made for this one-time purchase of BearCat equipment because equipment, parts, service, warranty and training can only be provided by BearCat Manufacturing. In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, normal competition was waived as a result of a Determination Memo citing that there is only one source for the necessary goods and services.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in the Street Transportation Department's budget.
