Explanation:
The 2025 Peterbilt 537 Cab and Chassis Grapple Truck was competitively bid by the Florida Sheriff’s Association pursuant to FSA23-VEH21.0: Heavy Trucks & Buses, and the current term of the contract is from October 1, 2023, through September 30, 2024, with a renewal option, for heavy trucks and buses.
The Florida Sheriff’s Association awarded the bid to The Peterbilt Store and has agreed to extend to the City of Hollywood the same pricing under the terms and conditions outlined in the Florida Sheriff’s Association bid and contract.
The Department of Public Works is responsible for loading and transporting bulky waste, construction materials, fallen trees, and other items. The equipment will be used for both daily and post-storm cleanup as grapple trucks clear debris quickly, significantly reducing labor-intensive and time-consuming manual efforts. The City’s current cleanup vehicles need replacement and are at the end of their useful life.
The Director of Public Works and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that the City Commission authorize the issuance of a Purchase Order to The Peterbilt Store, for the purchase of a 2025 Peterbilt 537 Cab and Chassis Grapple Truck to be used for cleanup and emergency debris removal, for an amount up to $248,195.00.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this Purchase Order was included in the amended FY 2024 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 557.519901.51900.564520.001762.000.000.
