BACKGROUND:

The City recently purchased two (2) new emergency response HazMat vehicles with trailers.  Both trailers require upfit packages to provide the appropriate storage and functionality for HazMat response.  The purchase of these trailer upfits will complete the build of these vehicles.

 

The Public Service Committee will review this matter.

 

CONCLUSION:

EZ Stak LLC provides customized, light weight, modular, mobile workspaces for trailers, and offers preferred government / municipal pricing structures.  Upon delivery, Fleet Services staff will complete the installation of the mobile workspaces in the trailers.

 

Sufficient funds exist in the 2025 budget to complete this purchase (Org 30070020, Object 557500, $42,662.08).

 

Section 2-438 of the City of Joliet Code of Ordinances states that purchases over $25,000.00 may be awarded without written specifications or bidding under certain circumstances.  One of these circumstances applies:

 

(f) Purchases when authorized by a concurring vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the Mayor and City Council.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

recommendation

Based upon the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve the purchase of HazMat Project Specific Up Fit from EZ Stak LLC in the amount of $42,662.08.
