Body
SUMMARY:
On September 28, 2024, Risk Management determined that vehicle G4946, a 2020 International MV607, was a total loss due to Hurricane Helene.
Clearwater Parks and Recreation is requesting to replace this vehicle with the purchase of a 2025 Freightliner 114SD equipped with a Galfab 60K Roll-Off Hoist in an amount not to exceed $226,946.00.
This vehicle is vital to the day to day operations of the Parks and Recreation Department as well as being used in emergency situations.
The total cost of the truck is $226,946.00, with $197,269.00 acquired through a competitive solicitation under the Florida Sheriff Contract (FSA) FSA23-VEH21.1, Item #59. The remaining $29,677.00 covers additional features deemed impractical to procure separately, including:
• Extended Engine Warranty
• After-Treatment Coverage
• Brigade Camera System
• Tire Boss
• Chrome Bumper
• Polished Aluminum Wheels
• $3,500 Tariff Announcement
Authorization is requested to piggyback off the Florida Sheriff Contract (FSA) FSA23-VEH21.1, valid through September 30, 2025. Additionally, approval is requested to procure optional features not included in the piggyback contract, as they are considered impractical due to potential delays in vehicle and/or equipment receipt, possible void of warranty for aftermarket items, manufacturer delay in receiving parts, etc., pursuant to Clearwater Code 2.563(1)(d).
