REPORT IN BRIEF

Approval is requested for the award of a contract to Carter Industries of Redwood City to furnish and install eight truck bodies and refurbish two truck bodies for the Department of Public Works Fleet Maintenance Division.

BACKGROUND

The new truck bodies will replace eight that have reached the end of their useful and economical life. Each of the eight existing truck bodies are at least ten years old and have substantial wear and tear from their many years of service.

Staff recommends award of contract to the low bidder.

FISCAL IMPACT

Total cost to the City will be $81,224. Funds are available in Public Works Account #020700-5135.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that Council award a contract in the amount of $81,224 to Carter Industries of Redwood City for ten truck bodies and authorize the Purchasing Officer to issue a purchase order to that effect.
