ITEM SUMMARY:
Annually, via the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Contract, the Public Works Department staff plans and budgets
for the purchase and delivery of replacement vehicles. For FY 2023, staff planned and budgeted for the
replacement of one 2009 International 7400 Single Axle Dump Truck (Unit 791); one 2009 International 7400
Tandem Axle Dump Truck (Unit 793) and one 2002 GMC 2-Ton Dump Truck (Unit 720), presently all utilized by
the Street Division. For FY 2024, staff planned and budgeted for the replacement of one 2009 7400 Single Axle
Dump Truck (Unit 790) and one International 7400 Tandem Axle Dump Truck (Unit 792).
For 2023, the State of Illinois did not solicit bids for large dump trucks, leaving municipalities to solicit bids on their
own, or to purchase demo/stock trucks, or purchase through another joint purchasing program. Staff has spent
the past several months speaking with various truck chassis manufacturers (i.e., Ford, Freightliner, International,
Peterbuilt, etc.) and equipment vendors (i.e., Henderson Truck Equipment, Monroe Truck Equipment, Auto Truck
Group, etc.) about ordering a customized snow plow/dump truck to meet City needs. Rush Truck Centers and
Bonnell Industries Inc. both hold joint purchasing contracts under the Sourcewell Competitive Bid Contract
(formerly National Joint Powers Alliance Program).
The City of West Chicago is a member of Sourcewell. Sourcewell is a municipal national contracting agency that
provides nationally leveraged and competitively solicited purchasing contracts under the guidance of the Uniform
Municipal Contracting law for use by education, government, and non-profits.
With cab, chassis, and equipment specified by the City, Rush Truck Centers and Bonnell Industries Inc. submitted
a price quote of $296,429.31 per truck under the Sourcewell Program. As specified, the truck would be a 2024
International Model HV613 SBA Single Axle Truck Chassis Equipped By Bonnell Industries Inc. with 10’
Commander Stainless Steel Muni Dump Body, 11’ Bonnell Snow Plow with Quick Link Hitch, 300-gallons Pre-
Wetting Tank System, and appurtenances.
The snowplow trucks and equipment will be purchased from the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (04-34-39-
4804) in which for FY 2023, $227,700.00 has been budgeted for replacement of Unit 791, $216,900.00 has been
budgeted for replacement of Unit 793, and $231,300.00 is budgeted for replacement of Unit 720, for a total of
$675,900.00. For FY 2024, $223,500.00 has been budgeted for replacement of Unit 790 and $234,600.00 has
been budgeted for replacement of Unit 792. Staff has determined the versatility of the two new trucks will allow
staff to eliminate unit 720, which is primarily used for landscape restoration. This will reduce the overall fleet by
one large truck in the future. Furthermore, given the current condition of Units 790, 792, and 793, staff believes it
would be beneficial to postpone the replacement of Unit 793 to FY 2024 and advance the purchase of Unit 790 to
FY 2023.

When the new units arrive in June 2025, the current Units 790 and 791 will become spare pieces of equipment
while the current spare pieces of equipment (Units 717 and 718) will be declared surplus.
If a purchase order is processed in June 2023, said truck will not be delivered until approximately June 2025. Due
to the current climate for automotive industries, the pricing is valid for 30 days from the date on the quote;
however, given the inflationary environment the pricing may change by delivery date. If such happens, staff will
bring the change order for committee consideration and approval at that time.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
That the West Chicago City Council waive competitive bidding and authorize the purchase of two 2024
International Model HV613 SBA Single Axle Truck Chassis Equipped By Bonnell Truck Equipment with 10’
Commander Stainless Steel Muni Dump Body, 11’ Bonnell Snow Plow with Quick Link Hitch, 300-gallons Pre-
Wetting Tank System, and appurtenances from Rush Truck Centers of Springfield, Illinois in an amount not to
exceed $592,858.62.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
