authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Associated Supply Company, Inc., through the Buy

INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
This request is for the purchase of one (1) Genie model GTH-5519 Telehandler for the Solid Waste
Department. The Telehandler is a fleet addition, approved in the Department’s FY21/22 budget.
The Genie GTH-5519 is a compact telehandler or all-terrain, telescoping forklift with a 5,500lb lifting
capacity with an 11-foot forward reach to a maximum height of 18 feet. The machine can accept many
different types of attachments such as forks, buckets, or a winch making it a very versatile piece of
equipment. The department plans to use this Telehandler at the Household Collections site as well as for
loading and unloading trucks and general materials movement around the Solid Waste and landfill property
as needed.
Fleet Services submitted specifications and requested quotes from (4) different suppliers of Telehandlers.
United Rental, Sunbelt, and Rental One did not respond. Fleet is recommending the purchase of the Genie
model GTH-5519 Telehandler from the only supplier, Associated Supply Company, Inc. (ASCO) that
responded. This machine is available on Buy Board Contract # 597-19.
Pricing obtained through the Buy Board Cooperative Purchasing Network has been competitively bid and
meets the statutory requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.
