In an effort to promote and enhance the City's effort to purchase <br />alternative fuel vehicles, six older sedans purchased between 2004 and 2006 have been identified <br />to be replaced with Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles. Specifically, two of these replacement vehicles <br />are assigned to Planning and Building Agency and four are part of the City Pool Car fleet that are <br />used on an as -needed basis. <br />Due to the electrification efforts of many jurisdictions throughout the nation, a new Climate Mayors <br />EV Purchasing Collaborative was recently created to provide cities and counties a cost effective <br />method to procure electric vehicles and charging station infrastructure. Currently, over 400 cities <br />have joined this collaborative effort in their ongoing commitment with mitigating impacts climate <br />change. The City went out to bid about 6 months ago and awarded a contract to Guaranty <br />Chevrolet. Guaranty informed us in writing that their pricing would remain the same for these 6 <br />vehicles. Subsequently, we found this new Mayor's Collaborative that would save approximately <br />$4,000 per vehicle. <br />Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any <br />public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The Climate Mayor's Collaborative awarded a <br />contract to National Auto Fleet Group (NJPA contract # 120716 -NAF) for procurement of electric <br />vehicles as a result of open competitive bidding on behalf of its members, which includes <br />government agencies. The awarded contract is valid through January 17, 2021 and is in <br />accordance with the City's existing Purchasing Guidelines. <br />22A-1 <br />
