Renew the contract with United Rentals, Inc. for equipment rental and concrete for a one year
period in an amount not to exceed $40,000.
DISCUSSION
City agencies rent equipment for special projects and a variety of routine duties. For one-day
projects, it is more cost-effective to rent in-lieu of purchasing the equipment. Rentals include but are
not limited to generators, electric power snakes, skid steer loaders, forklifts, concrete saws,
compressors, sod cutters, and stake bed trucks with lift gates. In addition, small quantities of
concrete are purchased to allow for quick and easy use for minor repair projects.
On June 4, 2012, the City Council awarded a contract to Untied Rentals, Inc. for a one-year period
with provisions for three, one-year renewals. United Rentals, Inc. has performed satisfactorily
during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in
pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Miscellaneous Operating Expenses account (no.
63001).
