FILE NUMBER
Amend the contract with Villa Ford for the purchase of one hybrid utility
vehicle in the amount not to exceed $27,239.
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 midsize utility vehicle category.
The Community Affairs Division of the Parks, Recreation and Community
Services Agency schedules events at many of the 39 park facilities located
in the city, including ribbon cuttings, monthly volunteer park clean-ups,
signage delivered for walking class and the Mothers Day event at the
stadium. Utility vehicles are used to transport staff and supplies as
required. One 1998 Chevrolet Utility Vehicle in worn condition has been
approved for replacement in the current fiscal year.
On October 1, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to Villa Ford for
the purchase of seven hybrid utility vehicles. The vendor has offered to
extend the same terms and conditions for one additional hybrid utility
vehicle. Staff recommends the purchase of the Ford Escape Hybrid.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Equipment Replacement account (no. 76-145-6641).
