The low bid of De Anza Chevrolet, a Chevrolet Model R31003 with an Impac
"Lift-A-Loft" aerial platform, does not meet specifications on several
components of the unit. Bid specifications required a minimum 7.3 liter
diesel engine that would provide at least 1600 RPM. The Chevrolet bid was a
6.2 liter diesel engine. The bid specifications on the aerial platform
required a scissor-type lift with four outriggers for stability and safety.
The Impac is a telescoping type unit with two outriggers on the front only.
The bid specifications on the aerial platform also required a hydraulic system
with 12 gallons per minute flow at 1500 RPM with a 28-gallon reservoir. The
Impac system is 5 GPM with 10 gallon reservoir.
The second low bid of Fuller Ford meets all specifications and is acceptable
to the Director of Public Works.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cab and chassis with platform is in the 1987/88
• Equipment Replacement Fund. The total cost is $46,229.01 with sufficient
funds provided for in the budget.
