RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Burch Ford for the purchase of one Ford Escape hybrid
utility vehicle in the amount of $26,408.90.
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 available in
the utility vehicle category.
The Public Works Agency's Construction Engineering Department uses utility
vehicles to transport staff and equipment to local construction sites for
consultations and review of building codes. Due to age and conditions, one
1994 Dodge Intrepid has been approved for replacement in the current fiscal
year.
