APPROVAL OF EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR
COMMUNITY RESOURCES CARGO VAN EQUIPMENT

 

Recommendation

Staff recommends approval of an expenditure of $5,839.56 from the Equipment Replacement account #715-4601-5403 to pay for equipment and accessories for the new Department cargo van.

 

Background

The FY 2000-2001 budget included $35,000 for the purchase of a cargo van for the Community Resources Department to replace the 1986 van that was in poor condition.

At the November 28 meeting, Council awarded a bid of $25,521.02 to Wondries Fleet Division to purchase a 2001 Ford Econoline Cargo Van through the California Cooperative Purchase Agreement.

The City accepted delivery of the van on January 18, 2001.

 

Analysis

The November 18 agenda item included an attached list of accessories (Attachment A) that the Department wished to add to the vehicle. The cost for these accessories (based on City of Los Angeles bid agreements), though itemized in the agenda item and well within the allotted budget, were not added to the total amount listed under Fiscal Impact.

This error was noted during the purchase order process, and staff wished to clarify this expenditure to Council prior to providing final authorization for purchase order processing and payment.

The items listed will assist in making the cargo van more functional and operational for the many programs and special events the Department moves equipment to and from throughout the year.

FISCAL IMPACT: $5,839.56 expenditure from account #715-4601-5403. Amount remaining in the account: $3,693.36.
