The City of Monticello, Iowa
IN THE NAME AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF MONTICELLO, IOWA
RESOLUTION #19-119
Resolution to accept bids related to Fire Truck purchase and to approve purchase of Fire Truck from Toyne, Inc.
WHEREAS, the City of Monticello Fire Department has been budgeting for and otherwise planning for the purchase of a new pumper, and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of their objective, the Fire Department went out to bid and sought bids from three manufacturers, eventually receiving two bids, and
- Dinges Fire: $343,600.00
- Toyne, Inc: $333,984.71
WHEREAS, after a careful review of the bids, it was determined that Toyne, Inc, is the apparent low bidder with a bid of $333,984.71, and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the budget provides for the purchase of this pumper and that purchasing the pumper is in the best interest of the City and the Fire Department and should be approved, and
WHEREAS, Toyne is offered a discount if partial payment is paid at the time the contract is signed and the Council finds that the prepayment amount, thus reducing the purchase price was not in the best interest of the City and will pay full amount of $333,984.71 on delivery to the City, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby authorize the City of Monticello Fire Chief, Don McCarthy, to execute the Apparatus Purchase Agreement between the City of Monticello / Monticello Fire Department and Toyne, Inc., whereby the City of Monticello agrees to buy said new “pumper” at a cost of not to exceed $333.984.71.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 3rd day of September, 2019.
Brian Wolken, Mayor
