Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Fleet Management Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an award to Pearland Alternator Company, in an amount not to exceed $829,821.91, for medium- and heavy-duty alternators and starters for the Fleet Management Department (FMD). It is further requested that authorization be given to make purchases, as needed, for a thirty-six (36) month term with two one-year options. This award is for medium- and heavy-duty alternators and starters to be used by the department in its day to day repair operations citywide.
This is a price list and line item award. Relative to the price list, the best discount which determines the low bid for a price list is the best bid received for quantities of high-use items selected as sample pricing items based on the current needs of the department. The bid total for sample pricing items does not represent the total amount estimated to be purchased; rather, this recommendation is for the total estimated expenditures projected over the awarded term based on the low bid submitted for the representative samples.
