Discussion: The Street Department went out to bid for upfit packages for one six-wheel dump
truck in September 2019. The bid was for complete upfitting of the six-wheel cab
and chassis purchased in July and expected delivery in mid-November.
Five vendors responded to the RFP. All are qualified truck builder/fabricators
however not all met the bid specifications.
The bid from Tenco offered a stainless steel body, nose and wing plows with
hitches, power tarp, 7.8 yard stainless steel spreader equipped with a pre-wet
system and a liquid anti-ice system with a 925 gallon tank and 3 booms. All the
equipment will be controlled by a Certified XDS Control System. The package
comes with a 3 year warranty. The next lowest bid from Viking-Cives did not
meet the bid specifications on several items.
The Street Superintendent, Parks Superintendent, Fleet Manager and Fleet
Foreman met and discussed and recommend the purchase from Tenco.
