Council action is requested to issue a purchase order to Midwest Vac Products, in the amount of $364,091.00 for an IBAK CCTV Truck for the Municipal Services Department.

Council action to issue a purchase order.

This tv truck will be outfitted with the necessary equipment required to perform Pipeline Assessment Certification Program inspections of the City’s sanitary and storm water collection systems. This truck will also have the capability of performing lateral launches into private laterals within the Right-Of-Way and easements. Additionally, crews will be able to televise large-diameter storm pipes with the included special lighting and camera attachments. The current CCTV truck is not capable of lateral launches leaving staff with only one truck able to perform this task. With Municipal Services staff doing more in-house Capital Improvement Project investigations, having a second truck capable of lateral launches will allow crews to obtain necessary information quicker without interrupting regular day-to-day operations. Because this truck is from the same manufacturer as the department’s other 2 CCTV trucks, all training, operations and maintenance will be standardized. The unit being replaced is Unit #3633. The current truck was purchased in 2006 and currently has 84,361 miles on it.

The vendor providing the truck, Midwest Vac Products, provided a quote based on Sourcewell National Cooperative Contract no 122017-RVL. Purchases under cooperative agreements are authorized by Section 8.06.004, Paragraph 5, of the Independence City Code, which states that when cooperative bids or contracts are used, they will first have been established pursuant to generally accepted governmental purchasing practices and the competitive bidding process.

Fiscal Impact. The fiscal impact to the City is $364,091.00. Funding is included in the fiscal year 2020/21 adopted budget:
