BACKGROUND: The 2011-12 budget includes funds for the replacement of a Front-End Loader Truck with a Hook Lift Truck. The Hook Lift truck will be used to service bulk roll-off containers at the County's five (5) solid waste convenience centers. During FY 2006-07 and FY 2007-08, the Sanitation Division transitioned to a containerized (roll-off) system for more efficient hauling of various materials. Materials collected include appliances, clean wood, construction and demolition material, furniture, metal, tires and yard waste. As part of the planned Walnut Grove Convenience Center's improvements for this year, the household waste dumpster containers will be converted to compactor style roll-offs, which will also require aroll-off method of hauling. Additionally the expanded hours of operation will necessitate increased roll-off hauling. Orange County's Hook Lift Truck requirements were advertised through bid number 281 and seven vendors submitted bids. Pursuant to the attached bid tabulation, White's International Trucks of Greensboro, North Carolina submitted the lowest responsive bid at a delivered cost of $177,158 fora 2012 International 7600 cab & chassis with an automatic transmission and a Swaploader SL 650 Hoist. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total purchase price of the truck is $177,158. Sufficient funds were allocated within the FY 2011-2012 Solid Waste Sanitation budget for this purchase. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) award bid number 281 to White's International Trucks of Greensboro, North Carolina for the purchase of a Hook Lift Truck at a delivered cost of $177,158; and 2) authorize the Purchasing Agent to effect the purchase award.
