S87 - E32469-S - Approve the purchase from Associated Supply Company, Inc. for street sweepers through the Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing with Sourcewell in the total amount of $1,509,108.20 for the Fleet Management Department on behalf of Houston Airport System.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of Fleet Management Department and the Interim Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the purchase of four (4) street sweepers through the Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing with Sourcewell in the total amount of $1,509,108.20 for Houston Airport System and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order to Associated Supply Company, Inc. The department's personnel will utilize these sweepers daily to sweep streets surrounding the City of Houston Airports and airport property. Funding for this purchase is included in the adopted FY2023 Capital Improvement Plan.
The Fleet Management Department has reviewed the proposed procurement and determined that an alternative fuel vehicle is not available in a commercial configuration to satisfy the application in a practical manner.
These sweepers will come with a one (1) year or 1,000 hour limited parts and labor warranty. This sweeper will be a new addition to the department's current fleet.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 271.102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a local government that purchases goods or services from a cooperative purchasing program or organization satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services."
M/WBE Subcontracting:
M/WBE Zero Percentage Goal Document approved by the Office of Business Opportunity.
Hire Houston First:
This procurement is exempt from the City's Hire Houston First Ordinance. Bids/proposals were not solicited because the department is utilizing an Interlocal or Cooperative Purchasing agreement for this purchase.
Fiscal Note:
Funding for this item is included in the FY2023 Adopted Budget. Therefore, no Fiscal Note is required as stated in the Financial Policies.
