To: Dan Kooken, Purchasing Manager
From: John Stewart, Fleet Manager
Jon Ibarra, Interim Street Superintendent
Subject: Sole Source for Mobile Lift Columns
Attached is a quote from Tool and Equipment Connection, Inc. for the
purchase of 2 Mobile Truck Lift columns. These columns will be used in
the DPW Fleet Maintenance garage for elevating large 3 axle heavy duty
vehicles.
In Fleet we currently have a set of 4 Mohawk Mobile Column lifts that
lift vehicles by the tires and work well when raising a 2 axle
vehicle, These lifts when used on a 3 axle vehicle struggle with the
additional weight and size. The 3 axle vehicles are unstable with one
of the rear axles left unsupported and hanging down. The purchase of
these additional columns will allow the mechanics to safely raise 3
axle vehicles and make repairs on a stable vehicle.
Tool and Equipment Connection, Inc. has the State of New Hampshire
contract for Mohawk Mobile Lifts. The City of Nashua purchased the
current lifts in 2009 from Tool and Equipment Connection; these new
Mohawk lifts will be a like for like match to the current Mohawk
lifts.
