Background Information:
On March 5, 2019, Resolution 2019-39R, Council approved the expenditure for a water truck in the amount of $65,365.47 to Texas First Rentals through the BuyBoard cooperative contract. After contract award and delivery of equipment, it was discovered that the water truck delivered had previously been used and did not meet the City’s expectations. The City did not accept delivery and the water truck was returned to the Vendor. The order was canceled with Texas First Rentals.
The City obtained a quote from Southwest International Trucks for a new water truck in the amount of $89,762.80, through the BuyBoard Cooperative Contract #521-16. The existing finance agreement with US Bankcorp as approved by City Council on March 5, 2019 is for $65,365.47. The remainder needed for the full amount of this contract award of $89,762.80 is $24,397.33. This amount will be paid by the City from budgeted funds and not added to the financing agreement.
