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 Wondries Fleet Group for the Purchase of One (1) Police Command Vehicle.  (Cost:  $26,879) (Action Item)

Date:1/12/2016
OBJECTIVE

To secure City Council authorization to purchase one (1) new Police Command vehicle from Wondries Fleet Group through the County of Los Angeles PO# 15362388-3.

BACKGROUND

The Police Department has one (1) command staff vehicle that currently meets the City’s guidelines for replacement. In order to perform the planned replacement, the purchase of one (1) vehicle is required at this time.  Experience has shown that the City’s buying power is enhanced through joining with other public agencies to purchase police fleet vehicles.
DISCUSSION

Efforts to obtain a quote from a local Ford dealer were unsuccessful, as there are no Ford dealers within the city limits. City staff recommends piggybacking on the results of the Los Angeles County public bidding program for police vehicles. The results of this bid process deemed Wondries Fleet group as the lowest responsive bid.                 

 

   Wondries Fleet Group                            $26,879.00 each*

 

 

* This price includes all applicable tax and destination charges.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The financial impact is $26,879.00 to the Fleet Management Fund. There is no impact to the General Fund. The surplus vehicle will be sold at public auction.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that City Council:  

 

  • Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $26,879.00 to Wondries Fleet Group for the purchase of one (1) new Police Vehicle.
