The low bidder Special Fleet Service, Inc. and second lowest bidder Altec Industries did not meet specifications; therefore, award is being made to the third lowest bidder, Battlefield Ford, Inc. to provide the three (3) model year 2019 Ford (F550) utility service trucks.  

 

Four of five heavy vehicles planned for replacement by Utilities in FY 2019 were budgeted in the Utilities Capital Projects Fund.  The fifth truck was inadvertently budgeted in the Utilities Operating Fund.  The attached budget adjustment shifts the funding remaining in the account where the fifth truck was budgeted to the Utilities Capital Projects Fund where the other four heavy trucks are budgeted.  Utilities and Finance staffs recommend this net-$0 transfer between funds.
