Agenda Request
To: Board of Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Frank Gifford, Central Services Director
Agenda Date: August 18, 2014
Subject: Motor Graders, Bid Opening
Statement of Issue:
Opening of bids at 10:30 am for the supply of motor graders as needed from time to
time over five years by the Department of Public Works.
Analysis /Strategic Goals /Pros rt Cons:
A request for bids for a five-year contract for motor graders was issued, and bids are
due to be opened today.
Fiscal Impact /Cost Benefit Analysis:
Replacement of both of the County's motor graders is behind schedule, leading to
decreased operational efficiency and additional unscheduled and expensive repairs.
Lifecycle costs are higher than should accumulate with scheduled replacements.
Recommendation:
Direct the opening of bids at 10:30 am and that Fleet Services evaluate bids and
return at a later date with a recommendation of award.
