Title
Purchase of Five Light-Duty Cab and Chassis Vehicles - Two Replacements for the Transportation Department and Two Replacements and One Addition for the Environmental Management and Sustainability Department (Citywide)
Three of the vehicles that are being replaced have met established criteria and will be either traded, auctioned, sold, or deployed for special uses as part of the ongoing vehicle replacement program. One vehicle that is being replaced for Transportation was involved in a theft and an accident resulting in a total loss. Environmental Management and Sustainability’s addition to the fleet of barrel delivery and appliance pickup trucks will allow current service levels to be maintained, keep up with the increased demand and growth and maintain a proper spare ratio.
The Fleet Services, Transportation, and Environmental Management and Sustainability Departments, and Purchasing recommend authorizing purchase from the contract with Berge Ford (a Mesa business), at $117,423.22; and awarding the contract to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Midway Chevrolet, at $215,902.53.; for the total purchase of $333,325.75. Transportation's purchase is funded by the Local Street Sales Tax Fund and Environmental Management and Sustainability's purchase is funded by the Capital - Enterprise Fund.
