Ford F-150 Lightning Truck and Ford Transit Passenger Van <br />March 4, 2025 <br />Page 2 <br />part of the City's emergency response to rain and wind storm related debris, as well as <br />after hours' emergency service calls. <br />Separately, the Santa Ana Police Department currently uses three vans to transport <br />inmates to and from the jail and courthouse, designated parent facilities, and medical <br />facilities throughout Southern California. The 2018 Chevy 3500 Express Van currently <br />used for these efforts has exceeded its useful life by reaching 173,766 miles. Due to the <br />wear and mileage on this vehicle, it is no longer adequate or safe for long distance <br />transportation outside of City limits; the proposed replacement is a new 2025 Ford <br />Transit Van. An electric equivalent was not considered due to the risks of having to <br />charge the van during long-distance inmate transportation. $71,344 of funding for the <br />replacement vehicle is available from Fleet's Equipment Replacement fund and the <br />remaining amount of $62,806 will be paid from the Police Department's Supplemental <br />Law Enforcement Services Account for front line policing efforts. <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-3041 authorizes the City to purchase against <br />contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell, a <br />cooperative government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to National Auto Fleet <br />Group (Contract No. 091521-NAF) as a result of open, competitive bidding on behalf of <br />its members, which includes government agencies. <br />Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market and <br />determined that National Auto Fleet Group meets the City's vehicle specifications <br />(Exhibit 1 & 2), offers prompt delivery, and provides competitive bidding. By leveraging <br />the procurement power through cooperative purchasing, the City of Santa Ana is able to <br />obtain nationally vetted, high quality products at competitive volume pricing, and is in <br />accordance with the City's existing Purchasing guidelines. Staff recommends approving <br />two purchase orders to National Auto Fleet Group for one new/unused 2025 Ford F-150 <br />Lightning Truck and one new/unused 2025 Ford Transit Passenger Van. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are budgeted and available in the following accounts for Fiscal Year 2024-25: <br />Fiscal <br />Accounting <br />Fund <br />Accounting Unit, Account <br />Amount <br />Year <br />Unit -Account # <br />Description <br />Description <br />2024-25 <br />07017100- <br />Equipment <br />Equipment Replacement, <br />73,294 <br />66400 <br />Replacement <br />Machinery & Equipment <br />2024-25 <br />07017100- <br />Equipment <br />Equipment Replacement, <br />71,344 <br />66400 <br />Replacement <br />Machinery & Equipment <br />
