Implementing Resolution <br /> (SPEC. NO. 11-00) ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Renew the contract with Parkhouse Tire, Inc. for vehicle tires for a one-year period in an amount not <br /> to exceed $120,000. <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The Facilities, Fleet Management and Central Stores Division of the Finance and Management <br /> Services Agency is responsible for the maintenance and repair of City vehicles. Worn tires must be <br /> replaced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency. The various City vehicles utilize a large variety of <br /> tires selected to best suit each vehicle demands and meet the manufactures' recommended brand <br /> and size. The contract provides tires for all vehicles within the fleet for maximum safety and fuel <br /> efficiency. <br /> <br /> On June 6, 2011, the City Council awarded a contract to Parkhouse Tire, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor, <br /> for a one period, with provisions for two one-year renewals. The vendor has performed satisfactorily <br /> during the past contract period. However, the tire market has been significantly impacted by the <br /> worldwide shortage of raw rubber material and escalating costs for steel and petroleum based <br /> products, resulting in a five to twenty-five percent increase in costs for the range of tires the City <br /> requires. The City holds the option to select different brands of tires per vehicle to minimize climbing <br /> costs. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract. <br /> <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Funds are available in the Finance and Management Service Equipment Maintenance/Garage <br /> Operation account (no. 07510100-62322) and charged back to the various operating departments <br /> through monthly vehicle rental charges. <br /> <br /> APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS <br /> <br /> <br /> A S~amz J:~, rL 'k ) Liz I <br /> Francisco Gutierrez <br /> Executive Director <br /> Finance and Management Services Agency <br /> <br /> 22A-1 <br />
