Subject:Authorize an increase to purchase orders with Factory Motor Parts, Auto Parts Distributors, and O'Reilly Auto Parts for miscellaneous auto parts.  (Cost: $85,000) (Action Item)Date:3/27/2018

OBJECTIVE

To secure City Council authorization to increase the purchase orders with Factory Motor Parts, Auto Parts Distributors, and O’Reilly Auto Parts for a total additional amount of $85,000 for the purchase of miscellaneous auto parts.

BACKGROUND

On May 13, 2014, City Council approved purchase orders with Factory Motor Parts, Auto Parts Distributors, and O’Reilly Auto Parts totaling $215,000 per year to provide auto parts to maintain the City’s fleet of vehicles. The purchase orders are in the final year of a five (5) year contract.

DISCUSSION

Due to the ever increasing costs of automotive, truck and heavy equipment parts coupled with a recent increase in parts required to facilitate repairs, the annual monetary threshold specified in the purchase orders has been exhausted. Staff is requesting City Council’s approval for an additional $85,000 to carry the purchase orders through the remainder of the contract.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no impact to the General Fund. The financial impact is $85,000 to the Fleet Management Operating Budget.

 

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Authorize the Finance Director to increase the amounts of the purchase orders with Factory Motor Parts, Auto Parts Distributors, and O’Reilly Auto Parts for a total additional amount of $85,000 for the purchase of miscellaneous auto parts.
