DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Parks, Fleet, and Facilities Services Division is responsible
for the acquisition, maintenance, repair, and replacement of vehicles, trucks, and
maintenance equipment. The Fleet Services team routinely strategizes to implement
green measures that advance the California Clean Air Act mobile source emission
reduction goals.
Adopted in 1990, California Assembly Bill 2766 (AB 2766) allows motor vehicle
subvention fund recipients to replace conventionally fueled vehicles with lower emission
and zero emission vehicles. To further reduce the City's carbon footprint, greenhouse
gas emissions, and overall operational maintenance cost, staff recommends the
purchase of two Ford F-150 Lightning EV Trucks to replace two gas -powered 1999
model -year Chevy trucks (vehicle 58962 and vehicle 58963) for the Parks Services
Division (Exhibits 1 and 2).
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against

contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. Sourcewell, a
cooperative government purchasing agency, awarded a contract to National Auto Fleet
Group (Contract No. 091521-NAF) (Exhibit 3) as a result of open, competitive bidding
on behalf of its members, which includes government agencies.
Staff researched available procurement options and product offerings in the market, and
determined that National Auto Fleet Group meets the City's specifications. By
leveraging the procurement power through cooperative purchasing, the City is able to
obtain nationally vetted, high quality products at competitive volume pricing, and is in
accordance with the City's existing Purchasing guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
With the approval of the requested appropriation adjustment, $168,287 will be
recognized in prior year fund balance in the Air Quality Improvement (AB 2766) Fund,
Prior Year Carry Forward revenue account (No. 03117002-50001) and appropriate the
same amount into the Fleet Services -Air Quality Improvement, Machinery and
Equipment expenditure account (No. 03117101-66400). Funding is available in FY
2023-24 budget and available for expenditure.

Describe your marketing strategy for promoting

Response*
National Auto Fleet Group encompasses a variety of marketing strategies to promote our products and
services to streamline the vehicle purchasing process for government entities. Below are a few strategies
used to serve as the gateway between our business and public agencies.
Website and Inbound Marketing: The creation of a professional customer -focused website is one of our main
features to market our products and services. The NAFG website encourages our members to interact and
browse through products offered along with pricing and information about National Auto Fleet Group. Inbound
marketing is created when potential members are directed to the company website. With this method, we
are able to not only connect with members but to put the purchasing ability into the hands of each member.
Our inbound marketing strategy attracts members by creating valuable content and experiences tailored to the
needs of each individual. Examples include email campaign flyers on our products, informative and how-to
videos, social media and engaging members with top -notched customer service to build brand awareness.
Email Marketing: One of the main strategies used to engage current and potential members is Email
Marketing. Our emails include different types of flyers that consist of information of the Sourcewell contract,
promoting manufacturer brands, holiday themed flyers, discounts offered to first time buyers, important cutoff
date reminders and upcoming products and events.
The use of marketing campaigns plays a major role in enhancing the growth of our client database. Emails
are a big part of our daily lives due to government agency employees utilizing emails as their main source of
communication. We use campaigner.com as the emailing platform to reach our target members. Videos and
descriptive images are used on all flyers and are compatible with a desktop or mobile device. Messages
are short and to the point with links leading to the Sourcewell and NAFG homepage. The Campaigner email
system allows the ability to track email activity based on open rate, unsubscribes and link clicks which is
beneficial to understanding email effectiveness.
ce potential members are directed to our website, they are welcomed with a wide range of options to
)lore an array of our products and services. They are able to register to become a member, view pricing,
)lore available in -stock vehicles, view how -to -videos, build a vehicle online to request an immediate quote
use our live chat assistant or call/email for live support.
Face to Face Marketing Strategies: This strategy has proven to be successful in generating leads and
creating lasting relationships by developing genuine connections with prospective members. National Auto
Fleet Group attends several trades shows per year to engage members and put a face to the company. This
in person meeting aids to build the brand by nurturing relationships between members and other vendors
associated through the process. Trade shows attended include GFX, IAPPO, NIGP, ACT, CAPPO, and
CASBO throughout the United States.
NAFG has many opportunities to make in person presentations to propose products, services offered and to
answer any questions potential members may have. These PowerPoint Presentations include topics on
NAFG/Sourcewell process, how to facilitate the vehicle purchasing without bidding, informational videos, and
the brands and services we provide. These meetings have been held at local cities, counties, school districts,
water districts and ports.
Relationship Marketing is a vital strategy used in building and maintaining long-term relationships practiced by
National Auto Fleet Group on a daily basis.
NAFG strives to create a positive and supportive connection with members by providing personalized and
responsive customer service practices. The sales team has worked tirelessly to focus on providing
outstanding customer support to create a powerful rapport with existing and new members. By going above
and beyond, they have enhanced existing relationships and executed customer loyalty with repeat businesses.
They strive to deviate from the "Car Salesperson" mentality which is 100% sales driven to a more product
and customer service approach by instilling a sense of confidence in our clients. The goal is to regularly
assist clients and address any needs and concerns even after the purchase has occurred. The strive to
focus on solution selling vs. product selling develops into a mutually beneficial agreement for members and
the business.
Below are a few examples on successful relationship marketing from our Fleet Department:
We had a member call in to request financing/lease options for a truck needed through our National Auto
Fleet Group/Sourcewell vehicle contract. I contacted another Sourcewell vendor, Matt Geiselhart from NCL
Gov Capital and he was happy to assist with a financing quote. The member also requested to trade in a
current vehicle in their fleet and was directed to Govdeals for assistance in removing the outdated unit
through an auction. The member was able to utilize three Sourcewell contracts to complete his transaction
which simplified the entire process. The member was very satisfied with the amount of care and ease
through his experience and became a repeat customer. By utilizing a cross -selling strategy, National Auto
Fleet Group became his one stop shop to fulfill all fleet vehicle purchasing needs.
"I had a member call in desperate to obtain a new truck because an employee had gotten into a serious
accident and had the truck totaled. Due to covid restrictions, most manufacturers are currently experiencing
microchip shortages which relays to production delays at the factory. We were able to direct buyer to our in -
stock inventory on the NAFG website and member was ecstatic to locate truck to meet their needs. Instead
of having to wait 30 weeks to receive the new vehicle, member was able to obtain the new truck within 3

"I once had a member contact us two years after purchasing a vehicle from us. They had a malfunction
with the liftgate on the box truck which caused a logistical nightmare. I was able to contact one of our body
vendors that upfitted the lift gate installation and a service technician was able to go onsite to resolve the
liftgate issue at no additional cost. The member was very impressed with the quality of our customer service
even after purchase. "
"I had a member request a 3/4 ton truck pricing but was unsure about their budget at the time. I took the
time to go through each option with the client to provide a Sourcewell pricing quote through multiple
manufacturers from Ram, Chevrolet and Ford. This empowered the member to have multiple pricing options
for review to align with their budget as well as eliminating the need to shop anywhere else. "
"We work with many body companies to assist customers with the body upfitting process. One of our
members called in a request to expedite a particular vehicle that was held up at one of their local body
upfitters. I contacted the body company representative and put in a request to expedite the upfitting per
request of the member. The body company was able to comply with the request and delivery was made
sooner than expected."
Word -of -Mouth Marketing: The positive quality of service has led to more sales based on previous
customers' impressions on their experience. NAFG's goal is to provide exemplary customer service
throughout the entire purchasing process to encourage repeat business and advocate services to other
members. NAFG has been fortunate to experience multiple instances of leads generated based solely on
word-of-mouth marketing though our existing customers.
Cross -promotion: National Auto Fleet Group is currently collaborating with another Sourcewell Vendor, NCL
Government Capital to promote each other's products and services. NCL Government Capital specializes in
providing competitive equipment financing programs for municipalities and public education entities across the
United States. As a team, NCL and NAFG produced a variety of marketing materials such as videos, flyers
and info graphs to promote purchasing and leasing opportunities.
Hoglund Bus Company is another cross -promotion vendor NAFG had the opportunity to create a partnership
with. Flyers were created to advertise Chassis from NAFG along with a variety of bus bodies from Hoglund
Bus Company.
With cross -promotion, companies exchange knowledge and provide endorsements on websites, social media,
and email campaigns. This strategy creates an influx of new leads, brand awareness, increased sales and
recurrence of customers. National Auto Fleet Group will continue to create new partnerships and facilitate
more cross -promotion opportunities in the near future to provide turnkey solutions for a variety of vehicle
purchasing needs.
Coming in 2022, National Auto Fleet Group will be launching a NAFG Partner Website to further increase
business growth. The website www.nafgpartner.com is expected to launch next year in 2022. The site
encourages body upfitting companies throughout the United States to partner up with NAFG to become a
preferred member. The benefits of becoming a preferred member include endorsements on website and
social media avenues along with word-of-mouth referral for clients with upfitting needs. Our dedicated public
relations representative will conduct phone and in person meetings to discuss the advantages of partnering up
with NAFG, therefore generating more cross -promotion opportunities.
Members from government agencies are encouraged to go on the site to search for local body upfitting
companies they are interested in working with. As a prerequisite in becoming a preferred vendor, they are
required to advertise NAFG and the Sourcewell contract on their business website and refer their clients to
purchase their cab/chassis needs through NAFG. This establishes a partnership that will generate increased
sales all around. We are still currently building the website and interacting with body companies across the
United States that would be interested in partnering up with NAFG.

they are the glue that connects government, education, and nonprofit agencies to companies of all sizes to
offer turnkey solutions to their needs.
Sourcewell is also a reliable resource for vendors by not only connecting with potential prospects but by
providing valuable marketing materials readily available for download on their website. Resources and tools
provided include flyers, vendor training videos along with compliance information.
The Sourcewell brand integrates a thorough documentation review of all vendors prior to awarding their
cooperative contracts to ensure products and services are from reputable vendors. The brand provides a
sense of legitimacy of our company name and members recognize that products and services are from
reliable sources that will meet their needs.
Sourcewell's aim is to simplify the purchasing and procurement process of government entities by eliminating
the costly bidding procedure. The process of researching the right vendor is not only stressful and time-
consuming but can be expensive as well. Sourcewell has completed the bidding for government entities
which simplifies the overall purchasing process by providing access to competitively bid contracts procured by
a government agency.
Sourcewell has provided NAFG with overwhelming opportunities to work with government agencies across the
United States. The Sourcewell name represents a high standard of integrity and ethics which is a dynamic
National Auto Fleet Group is proud to be part of. Sourcewell members have access to a contract that is
more flexible than the standard bidding process. Sourcewell is an organization that aids government entities
to stay competitive without the frustrations and issues involved with the traditional bidding process. This
contract can be customized to meet the unique needs of each client. The sales team has incorporated not
only this standard of integrity in their sales practice ensuring clients' purchasing needs will always be met.
The cost savings and stress -free nature of the cooperative contracts favors that of the traditional bidding
process. It enables vendors to work with qualifying government entities in a more efficient manner. We vow
to maintain these levels of standards across the board throughout all departments within the company.

Addenda, Terms and Conditions
PROPOSER AFFIDAVIT AND ASSURANCE OF COMPLIANCE
I certify that I am the authorized representative of the Proposer submitting the foregoing Proposal with the legal authority to bind the Proposer to this Affidavit and
Assurance of Compliance:
1. The Proposer is submitting this Proposal under its full and complete legal name, and the Proposer legally exists in good standing in the jurisdiction of its
residence.
2. The Proposer warrants that the information provided in this Proposal is true, correct, and reliable for purposes of evaluation for contract award.
3. The Proposer, including any person assisting with the creation of this Proposal, has arrived at this Proposal independently and the Proposal has been created
without colluding with any other person, company, or parties that have or will submit a proposal under this solicitation; and the Proposal has in all respects been
created fairly without any fraud or dishonesty. The Proposer has not directly or indirectly entered into any agreement or arrangement with any person or
business in an effort to influence any part of this solicitation or operations of a resulting contract; and the Proposer has not taken any action in restraint of free
trade or competitiveness in connection with this solicitation. Additionally, if Proposer has worked with a consultant on the Proposal, the consultant (an individual
or a company) has not assisted any other entity that has submitted or will submit a proposal for this solicitation.
4. To the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise disclosed in the Proposal, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which could give rise to
an organizational conflict of interest. An organizational conflict of interest exists when a vendor has an unfair competitive advantage or the vendor's objectivity
in performing the contract is, or might be, impaired.
5. The contents of the Proposal have not been communicated by the Proposer or its employees or agents to any person not an employee or legally authorized
agent of the Proposer and will not be communicated to any such persons prior to Due Date of this solicitation.
6. If awarded a contract, the Proposer will provide to Sourcewell Participating Entities the equipment, products, and services in accordance with the terms,
conditions, and scope of a resulting contract.
7. The Proposer possesses, or will possess before delivering any equipment, products, or services, all applicable licenses or certifications necessary to deliver
such equipment, products, or services under any resulting contract.
8. The Proposer agrees to deliver equipment, products, and services through valid contracts, purchase orders, or means that are acceptable to Sourcewell
Members. Unless otherwise agreed to, the Proposer must provide only new and first -quality products and related services to Sourcewell Members under an

10. The Proposer understands that Sourcewell will reject RFP proposals that are marked "confidential" (or "nonpublic," etc.), either substantially or in their entirety.
Under Minnesota Statutes Section 13.591, subdivision 4, all proposals are considered nonpublic data until the evaluation is complete and a Contract is
awarded. At that point, proposals become public data. Minnesota Statutes Section 13.37 permits only certain narrowly defined data to be considered a "trade
secret," and thus nonpublic data under Minnesota's Data Practices Act.
11. Proposer its employees, agents, and subcontractors are not:
1. Included on the "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States
Department of the Treasury found at: https://www.treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/sdnlist.pdf;
2. Included on the government -wide exclusions lists in the United States System for Award Management found at: https:Hsam.gov/SAM/; or
3. Presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from programs operated by the State of Minnesota;
the United States federal government or the Canadian government, as applicable; or any Participating Entity. Vendor certifies and warrants that neither it

r By checking this box I acknowledge that I am bound by the terms of the Proposer's Affidavit, have the legal authority to submit this Proposal on behalf of the
Proposer, and that this electronic acknowledgment has the same legal effect, validity, and enforceability as if I had hand signed the Proposal. This signature will not
be denied such legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because an electronic signature or electronic record was used in its formation. - Jesse Cooper, Fleet
