CITY OF SAN BERNA RDINO - REQUEST FOT' COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
The proposed purchase is for sixty-seven(67)tire racks for the commercial tire collection
program, to be purchased using funds from the California Integrated Waste Management
Board's Tire Fund Grant.
Specifications were published and furnished to commercial refuse bin and sheet metal
fabricators. Bids were publicly opened and declared January 26, 1995. Two vendors
submitted bids. The high bidder was non-responsive for failing to provide the required
bid-bond. The responding lowest and best bidder was Consolidated Fabricators of
Vernon, CA with a per unit price of $544.14 per unit, including tax, for a total of
$36,457.38.
Because this tire rack was an untested prototype, the Public Services Department issued
a purchase order to Consolidated Fabricators for a single rack to conduct first article
testing and determine whether the rack would meet the desired operating parameters. This
prototype rack was delivered and tested by the City in June. As a result of the test, a
design change was made which resulted in an increase in the unit cost of each rack of
$24.00 per rack, for a total unit cost of $568.14 per rack. The total cost for the sixty-
seven (67) racks is $38,065.38.
Based on the results of both the bid process and first article testing, the Purchasing
Manager, with concurrence of the Public Services Department, recommends the bid of
Consolidated Fabricator, Inc. of Vernon, California in the not-to-exceed amount of
$38,065.38. The funding for $37,280.00 of this purchase is through the California Tire
Recycling Management Fund Grant TR-93-0016-36 which was approved by the Council
on March 9, 1994 as resolution 94-51. The remaining $785.38 is in the 1995/96 budget
per department.
Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution.
