Title
Resolution to Authorize a Sole Source Purchase Order to Fredrickson Supply LLC, of Wyoming, Michigan, for Fleet Parts and Service (Not to Exceed $90,000.00)
Memorandum
The proposed resolution authorizes the purchase of truck and equipment replacement parts with related accessories and services in an amount not to exceed $90,000.00 per year from Fredrickson Supply LLC for FY24 and FY25, subject to the availability of funding in FY25.
Fredrickson Supply is the sole Michigan dealer for Labrie parts and service. The advantages of sole source supply include reduced inventory requirements and the familiarity that mechanics have to diagnose and repair equipment in a timely manner.
The City currently has 10 solid waste trucks with Labrie bodies. The requested amount for each fiscal year is based on fleet’s regular maintenance history for these vehicles.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Adequate funding for the purchase of truck and equipment parts and services has been budgeted in the approved FY24 Fleet Services Operations and Maintenance Budget. Award of the FY25 purchase order would be subject to the availability of funds.
Fredrickson Supply complies with the requirements of the City’s Conflict of Interest and Non-discrimination Ordinances.
