SUMMARY:
On September 18, 2017, Council approved a purchase order to Hose and Hydraulics in the annual amount of $225,000.00 for purchase of replacement hydraulic parts, repairs, and services for use on city vehicles and equipment, piggybacking off of Pinellas County Contract 167-0444-Q(RF), which was to expire on August 10, 2022.
On September 3, 2020, an increase of to the purchase order was approved bringing the new annual amount to $325,000.00.
The scope originally was for hydraulic service at the Fleet Division. Fleet subsequently expanded use of Hose and Hydraulic to include road service. The additional allocation of funds to the road services incurring more frequently are due to current staffing issues which allows for mechanics to remain at fleet to keep up with demand.
The services include hydraulic hoses, fittings, pumps, and motors for various heavy equipment vehicles, including but not limited to refuse vehicles, dump trucks, beach rakes and streetsweepers.
Pinellas County Contract 167-0444-Q(RF) has been extended until January 31, 2023. Authorization is requested to increase our current purchase order by $180,000.00 bringing the new amount to $505,000 and extending term to end on January 31, 2023.
