| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To secure City Council authorization to purchase five (5) new 2020 Ford Explorer Police Department patrol utility vehicles from Wondries Fleet Group through the Sourcewell competitive bid program, Contract #120716. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The City’s Police Department is expanding the number of officers it has on patrol, therefore requiring the addition of five (5) new Police patrol utility vehicles. The fleet additions were approved through the Fiscal Year 2019/20 budget process. Experience has shown that the City’s buying power is enhanced through joining with other public agencies to purchase fleet vehicles and equipment. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Sourcewell nationally solicits, evaluates and awards contracts through a competitive bid process. As a member, the City is able to utilize Sourcewell bid awards for equipment purchases. Staff recommends piggybacking on the results of a recent Sourcewell competitive bid program, Contract #120716. The results deemed Wondries Fleet Group as the lowest responsive bid for model No. K8A, which are not available to the public for purchase.
Wondries Fleet Group $37,438.33 each*
* This price includes all applicable tax and destination charges. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The impact to the General Fund will be $187,191.65. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $187,191.65 to Wondries Fleet Group for the purchase of five (5) new Police patrol utility vehicles.
