Mr. D's <br />Automotive has consistently provided low-cost service and discount <br />pricing for heavy-duty vehicle frame, wheel, brake and alignment <br />service. The number of vehicles requiring service has increased, <br />therefore exceeding the $10,000 vendor limit. As such, staff <br />recommends Council approval of an amendment to the contract to provide <br />uninterrupted service while bids are solicited. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Equipment Maintenance Garage Operation Other <br />Contractual Services account (account no. 75-111-6291). <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance and Management Services Agency <br />FG/KM/06-041A.2:uc ~~~_~ <br />~s ~~; <br />
