John Szerlag, Ci(v Manager <br />Hans Ottinot, Ci(v Allorney <br />Jane A. Hines, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Gty Commission <br /> <br />A John Szerlag, Gty Manager (, <br /> <br />Susan Simpson, Cultural & Human Services Dire~ <br />.1 <br />October 19, 2006 <br /> <br />APPROVAL OF THE PURGIASE OF TWELVE (12) BUS SHELTERS AND <br />(12) BUS BENG-IES FROM TOLAR MANUFACTURING IN AN AMOUNT <br />NOT TO EXCEED NINETI THOUSAND DOLLARS ($90,000.00) <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the Gty Commission adopt the attached resolution to purchase twelve (12) <br />thirteen foot bus shelters and (12) 4' bus benches from Tolar Manufacturing Company, Inc. in an <br />amount not to exceed Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000.00) as per the attached quotes. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Gty Commission expressed a desire to replace the current bus shelters throughout the city with <br />shelters that would match the city's streetscape plan. Staff presented Gty Commission with several <br />options. The shelter being proposed, Model 13NALD- VICGL, is the shelter that will be installed at <br />the 12 stops designated along Collins Avenue that will meet ADA standards and will utilize the city <br />benches that are currently at these locations. The new bus benches are to be placed inside the (12) <br />smaller shelters that will be located on the interior streets of the Gty, thus keeping them ADA <br />compliant. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />This purchase is a piggyback on a Gty of Coral Springs purchase as it was designated as a sole <br />source vendor by the Gty of Coral Springs. This particular manufacturer utilizes a twin tube roof <br />perimeter that is unique in its shelter design. It is in the best interest of the Gty to piggyback on this <br />contract rather than letting this item out to bid to expedite the purchase and installation of these <br />shelters. Additionally, quotes were acquired from other vendors for shelters that were aesthetically <br />similar but designed differently. This quote came in less than other manufacturers. <br /> <br />Funding is available for this purchase in the Capital Improvements budget account number <br />20.600.5620, Street Furniture/Bus Shelter. <br />
