AWARD PURCHASE OF NEW CITY VEHICLE

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that City Council:

1. Award the purchase of a new cargo van for the Community Resources Department to Wondries Fleet Division of Alhambra, California, in the amount of $25,521.02; and
2. Authorize Staff to issue the appropriate purchase documents as required.

 

Background:

The current Community Resources 1986 cargo van was scheduled for replacement in 2001, but the deteriorated condition warrants replacement at an earlier date. A total of $35,000 was allocated in the FY 2000-01 budget for replacement of this vehicle.

 

Analysis:

Year	Make/Model	License	Replacement	Allocation
1986	Chevrolet/Van 20	E280494	2001 Ford Econoline Extended Cargo Van	$35,000

Los Angeles County went out to formal bid for an identical van in September of 2000. Since municipalities are covered by the California Cooperative Purchase Agreement Plan, Wondries has agreed to sell the City this 2001 replacement vehicle with no increase in price over the County’s previous van purchase. This is considered a "tagged-on" or "piggyback" purchase and is standard practice for municipalities.

Staff researched the price of the van and found it to be competitive with other dealers.

 

Fiscal Impact: $25,521.02 of $35,000 allocated in the FY 2000-01 budget.
