INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:Scott C. Stiles

From:William E. Murray
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Public Works 
Subject:

Authorize the issuance of a purchase order for one (1) new Police Administrative Vehicle from Wondries Fleet Group. (Cost: $27,869) (Action Item)

Date:8/9/2016

OBJECTIVE

To secure City Council authorization to purchase one (1) new Police Administrative Vehicle through the County of Los Angeles Bid #16361257-1.

BACKGROUND

Public Works is responsible for providing all City departments safe and reliable vehicles.  Recently, a Police Administrative Vehicle was involved in a traffic collision, with costs to repair the damage exceeding the vehicle's value. Consequently, the  vehicle was totaled and under policy guidelines requires replacement. Experience has shown that the City's buying power is enhanced through joining with other public agencies to purchase Police fleet vehicles.

DISCUSSION

City staff reviewed the results of the Los Angeles County bidding program regarding Police Administrative Vehicles. Additionally, efforts to obtain a quote from a local Ford dealer were unsuccessful, as there are no Ford dealers within the city limits.  The results of this review were as follows:

 

Wondries Fleet Group             $27,869.00

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The financial impact is $27,869.00 to the Fleet Management Fund.  There is no impact to the General Fund.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Authorize the Finance Director to issue a purchase order in the amount of $27,869.00 to Wondries Fleet Group for the purchase of one (1) new Police Administrative Vehicle.
