OBJECTIVE

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

BACKGROUND

The Public Works Department has one (1) truck that currently meets the City’s guidelines for replacement and funding was approved in the FY 2023-2024 Fleet Management Fund's budget. This vehicle is replacing a 1994 Ford F-750 diesel truck with 67,000 miles, VIN#1FDWF80C4SVA0419.

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 bidder.
