| | | | | | | | 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.
