The unit is a 1997 International Dump Truck purchased in the <br />1996/97 Budget Year at a cost of $38,547.00. <br /> <br />Competitive bids for this type of repair fall under the general <br />exemption from municipal purchasing statutes "due to procurement <br />necessary due to unforeseen damage to public machinery, equipment or <br />other propertyU". For this reason, estimates for repairs were requested <br />from four (4) area repair shops with three (3) returning estimates and <br />one (1) No bid. Several other repair shops were contacted and declined <br />to give estimates. The lowest estimate was submitted by Bayou City Ford <br />in the amount of $18,720.59. <br /> <br />Staff recommends Bayou City Ford be authorized to repair the unit. <br />All estimates do not include any hidden damage found during repairs. <br />For this reason, it is recommended a total amount authorized for <br />repairs be set at $20,000. Funds for repairs are budgeted in the <br />Equipment Services FY 96/97 Operating Budget. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: Authorize repairs on unit 87-5 to Bayou <br />City Ford in the amount not to exceed $20,000. <br /> <br />Availability of Funds: <br /> <br />General Fund <br />Capital Improvement <br />Other '~ehicle Maintenance Fund <br /> <br />Water/Wastewater <br />Revenue Sharing <br /> <br />xxx <br /> <br />Account Number: 024-7074-534-4021 <br /> <br />Funds Available: XX YES <br /> <br />NO <br /> <br /> <br />IJ~ J'I <br />DATE I ( <br />
