Title
Approval of the purchase of a self-propelled chip spreader from ROMCO Equipment Co., a customized trailer containing equipment for the removal and installation of pavement markings from Centerline Supply, Inc., and a traffic sign printer and laminator from Sign It Right, LLC.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Streets and Drainage division of the Public Works department is requesting the purchase of the several pieces of equipment to support various aspects within the standard operations of their division.
Utilizing two awarded BuyBoard cooperative contracts, the department is requesting approval for the purchase of a BearCat self-propelled chip spreader from ROMCO Equipment Co. for a total cost of $258,668; and a customized trailer containing a thermoplastic walk-behind striping machine with heater, and a walk-behind pavement marker and grinder, for the removal and installation of pavement markings from Centerline Supply, Inc. for a total cost of $71,974.
After obtaining and comparing multiple quotes from various companies, the department is requesting approval for the purchase of a traffic sign printer and laminator from Sign It Right, LLC for a total cost of $36,167. Sign It Right, LLC is offering the best value to the City based upon factors such as an extended warranty period which includes parts and labor for repairs if needed. Additionally, if repairs are unable to be completed within 48 hours, the vendor will support the City by printing our signs themselves, utilizing their personnel and equipment at their location in San Antonio.
