(B) REPAIR OF 2009 PETERBILT GRAB-ALL
It is requested that Council approve payment to Rush Truck Centers (Columbus,
GA), in the amount of $32,086.46, for the repair of a grab-all, Vehicle #6903.
The vehicle was towed to the City Shop for engine related problems. Once at the
shop the vehicle was inspected and found to have raw coolant being pumped out
of the exhaust pipe. Upon further inspection it was determined that the truck
had run hot, which caused the head to crack and the cylinder to be scratched.
The only logical course of repair was to replace the engine with a
factory-remanufactured unit.
This is a front-line vehicle used daily to pick up leaves and debris on the
City?s right-of-way. Therefore, immediate repairs were needed. The vehicle
was taken to Rush Truck Centers, who is authorized by the manufacturer,
Peterbilt, to perform the required repairs. Therefore, the vendor is deemed an
only known source per the Procurement Ordinance, Article 3-114.
Funds are available in the FY17 Budget: Integrated Waste Management Fund ?
Public Works ? Solid Waste Collection - Auto Parts and Supplies; 0207 ? 260 ?
3510 ? GARB - 6721.
