Riverside $90,000 <br />Parkhouse Tire, Inc. Santa Ana $70,000 <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Finance and Management Services Agency's Fleet Maintenance Division is <br />responsible for the repair and maintenance of the City's vehicles. Worn <br />tires must be replaced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency. The <br />various City vehicles utilize a large variety of tires. These contracts <br />will provide for all vehicles within the fleet. <br />On June 21, 2004, the City Council awarded contracts for a one-year period, <br />with provision for two, one-year renewals. Scher Tire and Parkhouse Tire <br />have agreed to renew the contracts, however, both have requested price <br />increases of 39% and 33% respectively. Scher Tire, the main supplier of the <br />City's Goodyear tires, has requested only minimum increase over the past 10 <br />years. Parkhouse Tire supplies our Firestone line and our recapped tires. <br />These increases are due to the increase in petroleum prices and raw <br />materials. The recommended vendors have performed satisfactorily during <br />the past contract period. Staff recommends the final renewal of the <br />contracts. <br />22A-1 <br />
