RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Moss Bros. Dodge Riverside, under the Cooperative
Purchase provision of the City of Los Angeles, for the purchase of one
passenger-cargo van in the amount of 18,296.08; and increase the aggregate
limit for miscellaneous parts in an amount not to exceed $20,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Maintenance Division's annual Equipment Replacement Program is
included in the City's annual budget, and identifies vehicles scheduled for
replacement. Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule
established with each department. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews
the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel
Vehicle Acquisition Policy. Currently, hybrid vehicles are not manufactured
in the passenger van category.
The Information Services (IS) Division of the Finance and Management
Services Agency oversees the purchase and installation of the City's
computers and printers. Beside City Hall and the Ross Annex building,
computer projects are conducted in all the additional City buildings
including The Corporate Yard facility, the Library, The Depot and the
Parks, Recreation and Community Service offices on Santa Ana Boulevard.
Currently, IS utilizes a surplus City vehicle to carry computer technicians
and provide the safe transport of computer equipment. The recommended
purchase will replace the surplus City vehicle.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase
against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid
process. The City of Los Angeles' contract with Moss Bros. Dodge Riverside
for Dodge Caravans was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding,
and meets the City's requirements.
