RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend the contract with Mr. D's Automotive to increase the aggregate
limit by $20,000 for service of heavy duty vehicles for a one-year
period, in an annual amount not to exceed $30,000.
DISCUSSION
The Finance and Management Fleet Maintenance Division is responsible
for the maintenance and repair of the City's 800 fleet vehicles both
sedans and heavy duty vehicles at the Corporate Yard facility.
However, some vehicles repairs are directed to outside vendors for
their expertise when Fleet lacks appropriate equipment. Mr. D's
Automotive has consistently provided low-cost service and discount
pricing for heavy-duty vehicle frame, wheel, brake and alignment
service. The number of vehicles requiring service has increased,
therefore exceeding the $10,000 vendor limit. As such, staff
recommends Council approval of an amendment to the contract to provide
uninterrupted service while bids are solicited.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Equipment Maintenance Garage Operation Other
Contractual Services account (account no. 75-111-6291).
