This contract is to procure two (2) log loader grapple trucks from National Auto Fleet Group in the amount of $603,800. The two (2) log loader grapple trucks are essential to the Park and Tree Forestry Division’s tree removal program. The Forestry Division removes dead and hazardous trees from city-owned property for public safety and are also necessary to clear city streets for emergency response following storm events and to haul large logs and wood debris to the landfill. Without the log loader grapple trucks, the Forestry division would not be able to clear logs and large fallen debris from city streets, parks, and other public property. These trucks will replace log loader grapple truck units #9243 and #2243, which were approved FY23 replacements but have been difficult to procure due to supply chain issues and limited availability.

Per Section 2-4154 of the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, cooperative purchasing is authorized as an appropriate procurement method. This procurement will be made through a cooperative purchasing agreement with Sourcewell formerly National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), utilizing contract No. 060920-NAF (National Auto Fleet Group via Sourcewell). The contract expires on August 1, 2024.
