OBJECTIVE

To secure City Council authorization to purchase one (1) new police patrol vehicle from National Auto Fleet Group through the County of Los Angeles P.O. #17361672-1.

The Public Works Department is responsible for providing all city departments safe and reliable vehicles. Recently, a police patrol vehicle was involved in a traffic collision with costs to repair the damage exceeding the vehicle’s value.

Experience has shown that the City’s buying power is enhanced through joining with other public agencies to purchase fleet vehicles and equipment.

DISCUSSION

City Staff reviewed the results of the Los Angeles County bidding program regarding police patrol vehicles. Staff recommends piggybacking on the results of a recent Los Angeles County PO #17361672-1. The results deemed National Auto Fleet Group as the lowest responsive bid.

 

National Auto Fleet Group              $30,553.72 each*    

 

 

* This price includes all applicable tax and destination charges.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The financial impact is $30,553.72 to the Fleet Management Fund. There is no impact to the General Fund. The surplus vehicles 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 $30,553.72 to National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of one (1) new police patrol vehicle.
