PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Triad Freightliner of Greensboro, North Carolina for
a Hook Truck for Orange County Solid Waste.
BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Recycling operating budget calls for the
replacement of a 2002 Hook-Lift Truck. This vehicle's current mileage exceeds 215,000 miles.
This replacement unit will be used to provide regularly scheduled service to ten drop-off
locations servicing the County and municipal recycling drop-off centers for magazines, mixed
paper, and plastic/metal containers. Additionally, the vehicle is used to transport materials to
area markets.
Orange County's requirements were advertised and eleven vendors were solicited for Orange
County's bid number 271. Six vendors submitted bids. Pursuant to the attached bid tabulation,
Triad Freightliner of Greensboro, North Carolina submitted the lowest responsible bid that was
responsive at a delivered cost of $157,975 for a Freightliner FLD120 SD cab & chassis with an
automatic transmission and a Swaploader SL 650 Hoist.
In order to reduce emissions, Orange County's specifications require the awarded bid to meet
the most current (2007) EPA engine requirements for emissions without paying a fine. (Some
manufacturers have chosen to pay a fine rather than provide an engine that meets the EPA
guidelines.) Further, the truck is required to be able to operate using B-20 bio-diesel.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total purchase price, if approved by the Board, would be $157,975.
Sufficient funds were allocated within the FY 2008-2009 Solid Waste Recycling budget for the
purchase.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award bid number 267 to
Triad Freightliner of Greensboro, North Carolina at a delivered cost of $157,975; and authorize
the Purchasing Director to execute the necessary paperwork
