Title
Resolution to Authorize the Purchase of Heavy Truck and Equipment Repairs and Parts for the City's Fleet for the Period of FY25 - FY29
Memorandum
The Fleet and Facilities Unit annually purchases approximately $440,000.00 in repair parts from a variety of suppliers for use in the City's heavy trucks and equipment. When repairs can't be addressed in house because they are a specialty repair, or outside of Fleet's scope, the repair is outsourced to the appropriate vendor to be repaired. Fleet spends approximately $80,000.00 annually on outsourced repairs. The majority of these suppliers are normally under $75,000.00 per year and repair vendors are normally under $25,000.00 per year but may exceed that amount under certain circumstances, especially if the company supplies us with both parts and repairs.
Fleet and Facilities staff have found that receiving competitive verbal or written quotes when repairs and repair parts are needed is the most advantageous and cost effective method of purchase. This method allows us better flexibility with our parts inventory and repairs when needed, it also allows for a quicker turnaround on parts and repairs for critical vehicles.
This resolution will authorize the purchase of heavy truck and equipment repairs and parts from any parts supplier and repair vendor that complies with the requirements of the City's Conflict of Interest, Living Wage and Non-Discrimination Ordinance and is the lowest responsible bidder. The primary parts suppliers and repair vendors for heavy trucks and equipment currently used by the City includes:
AIS, New Hudson, MI
Bandit Industries, Remus, MI
Bell Equipment, Orion Township, MI
Boullion Sales and Service, Dexter, MI
Cummins, New Hudson, MI
