RESOLUTION #2024-179
Accepting 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 set-a-side for and otherwise planning for the purchase of a new fire pumper/tanker apparatus, 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
WHEREAS, after a careful review of the bids, it was determined that Toyne, Inc, is the apparent low bidder with a bid of $504,768.36, and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the funds have been set-a-side to provide for the purchase of this pumper/tanker apparatus and that purchasing the pumper/tanker apparatus 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 by $20,934 was in the best interest of the City and will pay balance 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, Joe Bayne, 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/tanker apparatus at a cost of not to exceed $504,768.36.
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 18th day of November, 2024.
