ALDERMAN DAVE PICKEL, CHA/RMAN
DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE BID RESULTS FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO NEW GARBAGE
TRUCKS
Keith Plavec explained that the City received four bids. The low bid was from RNow with a bid
of $289,830.00. The City has not used RNOW in the past, however after some additional
research and review of references the City feels comfortable accepting the low bid from RNOW.
The trucks can be serviced in the Chicago area. Public Works director would like to allow an
additional $1,000.00 for an added item. The fund currently has a balance of approximately
$300,000.00. The City will try to sell the current trucks privately rather than use a trade in with
the new vehicles. The new trucks should be in around May 2014 from RNOW out of Morton.
Motion and second were made by Aldermen Pickel/Lovell to accept the low bid from RNOW for
the two garbage trucks with the additional $1,000.00 added to the bid price and send Council
for consideration.
The motion carried by voice vote and was unanimous.
