RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE AWARD OF CONTRACT
FOR REFUSE-DERIVED FUEL BIN TAPERED BUSHING REDUCER
FOR THE ELECTRIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT, CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, bids and proposals were received on the 20'h day of September, 2022, for the
Refuse-Derived Fuel (RFD) Bin Tapered Bushing Reducer for the Electric Services Department,
City of Ames, Iowa. Said bids have now been carefully analyzed.
WHEREAS,the apparent low quote is from a company the Power Plant staff is not familiar
with. The next lowest quote, at a total cost of$360.19 higher than the low quote, is from Motion
Industries, a company the Power Plant works with on a weekly basis. Staff has found Motion
Industries to be very reliable and provide good quality parts. Considering the working relationship
that the plant has with Motion Industries and the price difference being less than 1%, staff has
determined it would be in the City's best interest to order the tapered bushing reducer from Motion
Industries.
IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa, as
follows:
Section 1: It is hereby found and determined that the bid of Motion Industries of Ankeny,
Iowa, in the amount of$59,468.47 (inclusive of sales tax) is the second-lowest and best
bid for said work, and the same is hereby accepted.
Section 2: The City Manager and City Clerk are authorized to execute said contract for and
on behalf of the City of Ames, Iowa, and to affix the corporate seal of the City thereto.
