City of Garden Grove
INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | William E. Murray
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Public Works
| | Subject: | Authorize the issuance of a purchase order to Pierce Manufacturing for one (1) light and air vehicle. (Cost: $399,010) (Action Item) | Date: | 10/10/2017 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To secure City Council authorization to purchase one (1) light and air vehicle from Pierce Manufacturing in the amount of $399,010. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is responsible for providing safe and reliable vehicles for all City departments. The Fire Department currently has one light and air vehicle that meets the City’s guidelines for replacement. The light and air unit, also known as a breathing support unit, is a specialized piece of firefighting apparatus that provides supplemental lighting and SCBA air bottles at the scene of an emergency. The replacement was approved through the Fiscal Year 2017/18 budget process. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Efforts to obtain a quote from a local builder were unsuccessful. Experience has shown that the City’s buying power is enhanced through joining with other public agencies to purchase fleet vehicles and equipment. As a result, City staff recommends piggybacking on the Florida Sheriff's Department Contract #FSA16-VEF12.0. The results of this bid process deemed Pierce Manufacturing as lowest responsive bid.
Pierce Manufacturing *$399,010
* This price includes all applicable tax and destination charges |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact is $399,010 to the Fleet Management Fund. There is no impact to the General Fund. The vehicle being replaced will be sold at public auction.
|
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
-
Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $399,010 to Pierce Manufacturing for the purchase of one (1) light and air vehicle.
