BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Submitted for City Council consideration and action is the attached bid tabulation of two competitive bids received to provide four asphalt planer skid steer attachments that will be utilized by the Transportation and Capital Improvements Department for street paving maintenance. These attachments can be used by existing skid steer loaders to remove deteriorated asphalt and provide a clean trench to receive new paving materials. This equipment is a technological advancement in street repair and will be used for various construction and/or asphalt repair projects throughout the city.
ISSUE:

The attachments are covered by a minimum 12 month warranty. The life expectancy for these attachments is 120 months.
The Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) Ordinance requirements were waived due to the lack of small, minority, and/or women businesses available to provide these goods and services.
The recommended award is to the lowest responsive bidder, who is also a local business; therefore, application of the Local Preference Program was not required.
The Veteran-Owned Business Program does not apply to goods/supplies contracts, so no preference was applied to this contract.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this equipment is not purchased, necessary field work may be compromised and thus create the potential of delays in delivery of essential services to the residents of San Antonio.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract is for the purchase of four asphalt planer skid steer attachments for a total cost of $122,332.00 and will be funded from the FY 2018 Equipment Renewal and Replacement Fund Budget.
