ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
Well let’s first | guess get a quick explanation from Mr. Ibarra.
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. So this also is a Park and Rec. This being a pickup not a dump truck used again all season
during park maintenance and again used for snow plowing operations in the winter. It's replacing truck 12613 and I'll take
any questions that you may have.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
All right. This is the one that we questioned rather - this was a 2022 or 2021. | believe it's a 2021?
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
It’s stated as 2021. That is correct.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Okay. It also said that the not to exceed $61,253 does it all make a difference?
Kelly Parkinson, Purchasing Manager
Excuse me. This is Kelly Parkinson. Yes the memo does state it is 2021 but the quote actually states a 2022.
Alderman Harriott-Gathright
Yeah | know but which one is it?
Kelly Parkinson, Purchasing Manager
| believe it's a 2022 because that's what the vendor is quoting.
Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent of Streets
John, anything belonging to that?
John Stewart, Fleet Manager
| know MHQ is struggling right now to get vehicles in. | believe they did quote a 2022 on this one?
Kelly Parkinson, Purchasing Manager
Yes.
