Council 1 November 2017 |
Item 12.5 |
This report details the outcome of evaluation of request for quotation RFQ68/17 for the supply and delivery of two replacement heavy rigid tipper trucks for the Works Section and recommends award to the preferred tenderer.
Acting Director Transport and Utilities
Council’s ten year replacement program indicates that two existing trucks operated by the Works Section are due for replacement this financial year.
Council’s existing tipper trucks plays a vital role in the operation of the Council’s main Construction and Bitumen Maintenance Teams. The tipper truck is fully utilised within the teams and carries out multiple duties involving load shifting of gravel, rock, sand, soil and other materials as a ridged truck or towing a dog trailer with a combination weight of 50,000kg. The truck is also used to tow a plant tag trailer shifting pipes and machinery up to 12,000kg in weight.
Technical specifications were created and a Request for Quotation (RFQ) was submitted through Vendor Panel with a closing date of 15 September 2017.
Vendor Panel indicated a total of six vehicles were submitted from four companies for RFQ 68/17.
The quotation process was run through Vendor Panel and complied with the Local Government Act 1993.
Council’s ten year replacement program is in accordance with the Fleet Long Term Financial Plan.
Council’s current heavy rigid trucks have reached the end of their useful life. The plant purchase was budgeted as per Council’s Fleet Long Term Financial Plan for the 2017/2018 financial year, to enable sufficient opportunity to inspect tenderer’s proposed offering.
Six tender submissions were assessed for RFQ 68/17. A thorough evaluation was completed on all of the trucks and it was deemed that the recommended supplier represented best value for money. This was largely on the pricing gap and warranty coverage offered for this truck. A weighted assessment was not exercised in this case.
The preferred supplier’s truck has been recommended to Council on the basis of whole of life costs, with maximum productivity and minimum breakdown time being a major factor to support Council’s maintenance and construction programs. The preferred truck meets all standards and required specifications and represents best overall value for Council.
