BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: October 21, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Zan Fedorak SUBJECT: Seeking Approval to Reject the Compressed Natural Gas Roll-Off Truck Re-Bid (RECY 30-14) DEPARTMENT: Purchasing BCC DISTRICT: All STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Seeking approval to reject the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Roll-Off Truck Re-Bid (RECY 30-14) and bid a conventional roll-off truck. BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: The Public Works Department, Recycling Division requested a bid for a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 66,000 pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) roll-off truck. The bids were opened on September 3, 2014 and 4 (four) bids were received. The bids for the CNG truck came in much higher than originally anticipated. The Recycling Division has requested that all bids be rejected due to the cost of the CNG truck. The higher capital investment on the truck and the anticipated fueling station requirement prohibits making the investment justifiable. The Recycling Division has requested to re-bid the truck as a conventional roll-off. OPTIONS: Approve/Deny rejection of all CNG truck bids and re-bid as a conventional roll-off truck. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve rejection of all CNG truck bids and re-bid as a conventional roll-off truck. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: John Hofstad, Interim County Administrator
