OBJECTIVE

To secure City Council authorization to purchase one (1) new Public Works Department CCTV van from National Auto Fleet Group through the Sourcewell competitive bid program, Contract #091521-NAF.

BACKGROUND

The Public Works Department has one (1) van that currently meets the City’s guidelines for replacement and was approved in the adopted FY2023-24 budget. The vehicle being replaced is a 2001 GMC van, VIN#1GDJG31R811205054, with 80,200 miles from the Water Services Department. 

DISCUSSION

Experience has shown that the City’s buying power is enhanced through joining with other public agencies to purchase fleet vehicles and equipment.  Sourcewell nationally solicits, evaluates and awards contracts through a competitive bid process. As a member of Sourcewell, the City is able to utilize bid awards for equipment purchases. Staff recommends piggybacking on the results of a recent Sourcewell competitive bid program, Contract #091521-NAF. The results deemed National Auto Fleet Group as the lowest responsive bid.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $489,610.50 to National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of one (1) new Public Works Department CCTV van.
