Title
Use of Cooperative Term Contracts with Renewal Options for Vehicle Equipment Upfit and Installation Services for the Fleet Services Department (Citywide)
The Maricopa County contract provides for the purchase and installation of vehicle equipment and lighting at an established hourly labor rate. The Contractors provide specialized turnkey vehicle equipment (lights, push-bars, consoles, wiring, etc.) and installation services for the Fleet Services and other service vehicles for the City on an as-needed basis. The City of Phoenix contracts provide for the purchase and installation of emergency vehicle equipment and lighting at an established hourly labor rate to provide specialized turnkey emergency vehicle equipment (lights, sirens, push-bars, detainee cages, consoles, wiring, etc.) and installation services for Mesa Police and Mesa Fire and Medical Department vehicles.
Fleet Services is requesting to utilize twelve (12) of the County vendors and three (3) of the City of Phoenix vendors. There has been a significant increase in the number of vehicles Fleet Services has received this past year and is expected this current fiscal year due to delays in getting vehicles over the past few years. These vehicles will require lighting, emergency lighting, and equipment upfitting. Multiple vendors will help to try to keep up with the demand as city staff are unable to absorb the additional workload.
The Fleet Services Department and Procurement Services recommend authorizing the purchase using the Maricopa County contract with Arizona Truck Pros, BTE Body Company Inc., Drake Truck Bodies LLC, JAR Capital Group Inc., JB Poindexter & Co. Inc., Knapheide Truck Equipment Company Phoenix, Nescon LLC, Norwood Equipment Inc., Pride Outfitting LLC, RWC International Ltd, United Truck & Equipment, and Utility Crane & Equipment; and the City of Phoenix contract with Arizona Emergency Products Inc., Don Chalmers Ford dba MHQ of Arizona, and Kenco LLC dba LSH Lights at $2,800,000 annually with an annual increase allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.
