December 4, 1997
At their meeting on November 6, 1997, the City Council approved by motion the
purchase of a sanitation truck from Hirning Truck Center,Pocatello, on a piggyback
bid of the City of Idaho Falls. There was a problem with the original proposal
because the Leach Alpha Rear Loader had not been previously bid by an entity. An
amended bid has been proposed. The amended bid includes the 1998 GMC C7000 chassis
at $52,924 (piggybacked on a City of Idaho Falls bid) and a Heil Formula Loader
at $36,000 (piggybacked on a City of Pocatel1o bid). The amended proposal is less
than the original proposal, and it is within the amount budgeted. Councilmember
Bean moved to amend the original motion to purchase a sanitation truck from Hirning
Truck Center for the same 1998 BMC C7aaa chassis but change the loader to a Hei1
Formula for a total purchase price of $88,924. The motion was seconded by
Councilmember Loveland. Roll call vote: Bean - Yes; Loveland - Yes; Bohn - Yes.
The motion carried.
