Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing the purchase of tires for city vehicles from local providers, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Southern Tire Mart, and T & W Tire LLC through the Buyboard #553-18 cooperative contract for a total amount of $253,500 in FY 2019 - 2021 (Director of Public Works)
Background:
Approval of this resolution will authorize the purchase of tires for city vehicles, from local providers, utilizing the purchasing power of national cooperatives. Tires are available through the Buyboard contract with three local providers. These contracts provide excellent pricing, compliance with state bidding law, the option for several manufacturers and availability that will reduce the amount of time that vehicles are out of service.
Based on price, delivery history, and customer service, the recommendation is to continue purchasing tires through these local providers and utilizing the purchasing cooperative. The current contract pricing is effective through February 28, 2021 in the amount of $87,750 for the remainder of FY2019, $117,000 in FY2020 and $48,750 for a portion of FY2021 for a total amount of $253,500.
During the most recent Fiscal Year, the city purchased tires from each of these providers, as follows:
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company $43,609
(Goodyear for police vehicles)
Southern Tire Mart $53,284
(Firestone & Bridgestone for light and medium trucks, SUV’s, ambulance, etc.)
T & W Tire LLC (New Vendor) No History Available
