NO. 06-137) <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Award a contract to Moss Bros. Dodge Riverside, under the Cooperative <br />Purchase provision of the City of Los Angeles, for the purchase of one <br />passenger-cargo van in the amount of 18,296.08; and increase the aggregate <br />limit for miscellaneous parts in an amount not to exceed $20,000 annually. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Fleet Maintenance Division's annual Equipment Replacement Program is <br />included in the City's annual budget, and identifies vehicles scheduled for <br />replacement. Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule <br />established with each department. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews <br />the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel <br />Vehicle Acquisition Policy. Currently, hybrid vehicles are not manufactured <br />in the passenger van category. <br /> <br />The Information Services (IS) Division of the Finance and Management <br />Services Agency oversees the purchase and installation of the City's <br />computers and printers. Beside City Hall and the Ross Annex building, <br />computer projects are conducted in all the additional City buildings <br />including The Corporate Yard facility, the Library, The Depot and the <br />Parks, Recreation and Community Service offices on Santa Ana Boulevard. <br />Currently, IS utilizes a surplus City vehicle to carry computer technicians <br />and provide the safe transport of computer equipment. The recommended <br />purchase will replace the surplus City vehicle. <br /> <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase <br />against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid <br />process. The City of Los Angeles' contract with Moss Bros. Dodge Riverside <br />for Dodge Caravans was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, <br />and meets the City's requirements. <br /> <br />22H-1 <br />
