PURCHASE OF STAFF CAR
FOR THE FIRE CHIEF - FIRE DEPARTMENT

 

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council:

• Authorize the purchase of one (1) new, silver frost in color, passenger car sedan, from the Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra, California.

 

BACKGROUND

Fire Department vehicles are part of the inventory of the Equipment Replacement Fund. For the current 2000/2001 fiscal year, one (1) passenger car sedan for the fire chief is scheduled for replacement. It is recommended that Council authorize staff to purchase this vehicle from the Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra, California. The Wondries Fleet Group holds the sole contract (Bid# 200205) with the County of Los Angeles and is the provider of many of the fire department agencies in the County. As the Wondries Fleet Group has established a government contract with the County of Los Angeles, City rules allow the purchase of equipment from a sole source vendor under these conditions. The advantage of using this contract purchase is for the benefit of favorable pricing.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

The funds required for the replacement of this vehicle have been accumulated in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the current 2000/2001 fiscal year. (Passenger car sedan: $24,068.00 - Price includes sales tax) Note: Purchase order will not be prepared until after July 1, 2000.
