Body
WHEREAS, a Parks + Rec aerial bucket truck was recently damaged due to nesting birds fouling hydraulic lines; and,
WHEREAS, Parks + Rec staff, after diligent efforts, was unable to locate a local facility capable of repairing the damage, but through a referral contacted Drake Scruggs Equipment, Inc., of Springfield, IL, which provided an estimate of $18,955.00 for the complete tear-down, repair, and reassembly of the aerial hydraulic arm; and,
WHEREAS, the County’s motor vehicle insurer, MOPERM, has provided $17,955.00 in insurance proceeds representing the cost of repair, less a $1,000.00 deductible, which should be appropriated to pay the repair costs; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 1030.1 of the Jackson County Code, the Director of Finance and Purchasing recommends award of the contract for the repair of the vehicle to Drake Scruggs Equipment, Inc., of Springfield, IL, as a sole source, due to the complexity of the needed repair and lack of a capable local vendor; now therefore,
