While <br />Octane Forklifts, Inc. was the lowest bidder, there is no local "Octane" dealer to administer the <br />warranty on their product. Octane Forklifts, Inc. submitted two local forklift dealers as authorized <br />warranty dealers but when I spoke with both companies, neither had heard of "Octane Forklifts, <br />Inc." and therefore neither would provide warranty work on the forklift submitted in the bid. <br />Without the support of a local dealer, the warranty appears to be invalid and renders the bid <br />unresponsive. <br />The cost of the vehicle is $31,846.00 with no alternates and will be funded with the proceeds <br />from the 2019 Equipment Services Capital Lease Budget 224-0605-419-38.01 & 224-0605-419- <br />38.02. Listed below are the bids received for your review. <br />*Denotes Most Responsive Bidder <br />*Hull Lift Truck — Svec N. <br />Unit Price I Total <br />2019 Tqota SFGU32 _._ ._ Q 1 $31,846.00 $31,846.00 <br />Alternate #1 <br />fully--en—closed cab 1 $9,150.00 $0.00 <br />Purchase Price $31,846.00 <br />
