The purchase price of the forklift is $67,619 and to utilize another jurisdiction’s contract (#091520- MCF) that was awarded by Sourcewell to Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America, Inc. REPORT-IN-BRIEF: The Highway Department is requesting to purchase one (1) Caterpillar GP45N1 lift truck to replace a lift truck that is twenty-five (25) years old and exceed the County’s Vehicle and Equipment Types and Usage Guidelines. The County’s replacement guidelines for industrial lift truck are recommended at a ten (10) year economic life cycle. The replaced lift truck will not be sold on GovDeals, Inc. The Code of Public Laws of Washington County, Maryland (the Public Local Laws) §1-106.3 provides that the Board of County Commissioners may procure goods and services through a contract entered into by another governmental entity, in accordance with the terms of the contract, regardless of whether the County was a party to the original contract. Sourcewell took the lead in soliciting the resulting agreement. If the Board of County Commissioners determines that participation by Washington County would result in cost benefits or administrative efficiencies, it could approve the purchase of this service in accordance with the Public Local Laws referenced above by resolving that participation would result in cost benefits or in administrative efficiencies. The County will benefit with direct cost savings in the purchase of this service because of the economies of scale this buying group leveraged. I am confident that any bid received as a result of an independent County solicitation would exceed the spend savings that the Sourcewell solicitation provides through this agreement. Additionally, the County will realize savings through administrative efficiencies as a result of not preparing, soliciting and evaluating a bid. This savings/cost avoidance would, I believe, be significant. DISCUSSION: N/A Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland Agenda Report Form FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $75,000 are budgeted in the Highway Department’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) account EQP042. CONCURRENCES: N/A ALTERNATIVES: 1. Process a formal bid and the County could possibly incur a higher cost for the purchase, or 2. Do not award the purchase of the lift truck.

RS-2023- (Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchase [INTG-23-0132] Personal Protective Equipment [PPE] for Division of Emergency Services) RECITALS The Code of Public Local Laws of Washington County, Maryland (the “Public Local Laws”), §1-106.3, provides that the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, Maryland (the “Board”), “may procure goods and services through a contract entered into by another governmental entity in accordance with the terms of the contract, regardless of whether the county was a party to the original contract.” Subsection (c) of §1-106.3 provides that “A determination to allow or participate in an intergovernmental cooperative purchasing arrangement under subsection (b) of this section shall be by resolution and shall either indicate that the participation will provide cost benefits to the county or result in administrative efficiencies and savings or provide other justifications for the arrangement.” The Division of Emergency Services seeks to purchase sixty-three (63) sets of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (coats and pants) from Municipal Emergency Services of Rockville, Maryland, at the contracted unit prices based on the contract awarded by the Fairfax County, Virginia, contract (Solicitation #4400010661). The PPE is individually priced as follows: Honeywell Morning Pride Coat, $2,368.06 (x49); Honeywell Morning Pride Coat $2,397.90 (x14); and Honeywell Morning Pride Pant $1,563.10 (x63); for a total cost of $248,080.84. Eliminating the County’s bid process will result in administrative and cost savings for the Division of Emergency Services. The County will benefit from direct cost savings because of the economy of scale the aforementioned contract has leveraged. Additionally, the County will realize administrative efficiencies and savings as a result of not preparing, soliciting, and evaluating bids. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board, pursuant to §1-106.3 of the Public Local Laws, that the Division of Emergency Services is hereby authorized to purchase sixty-three (63) sets of PPE from Municipal Emergency Services of Rockville, Maryland, at the contracted unit prices based on the contract awarded by the Fairfax County, Virginia, contract (Solicitation #4400010661). Adopted and effective this ____ day of September, 2023.
