SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE OF UNMARKED OUTFITTED UTILITY VEHICLE
FOR POST-RELEASE ACCOUNTABILITY AND COMPLIANCE TEAM
(PACT)
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Alberto Franz III, Police Chief
SUMMARY
This action would authorize the acquisition of a replacement vehicle using available
grant funds, for the Palm Springs Police Officer assigned to the Riverside County Post-
Release Accountability and Compliance Team (PACT).
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Award the purchase of one new 2013 Ford Explorer utility vehicle in the amount of
$28,756.41 from Wondries Fleet Group, inclusive of all applicable taxes, fees and
delivery, and Police equipment outfitting from West Coast Lights and Siren in the
amount of$7,227.89, for a total cost of$35,984.30.
2) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The implementation of the Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011 resulted in convicted
felons and parolees who were previously monitored by State Parole to be supervised by
County Probation Departments. As a member of the Riverside County Post-Release
Accountability and Compliance Team (PACT), the Police Department is assigned an
annual allocation of $200,000, to be billed to the County for reimbursement. These
funds are earmarked for salary, benefits and equipment for the officer assigned to the
team. Staff is recommending the replacement of the outdated vehicle with over 91,000
miles, with a dependable utility unit that is able to transport the officer and other team
members throughout Riverside County.
Section 7.09.010 of the Municipal Code provides that the City Council may authorize the
acquisition equipment through a joint powers or other cooperative purchasing program
with a public entity or association of public agencies. The County of Los Angeles

Vehicle Purchase—Police Department
awarded a purchase contract to Wondries Ford to acquire 2013 model Ford Explorer
Utility Police vehicles. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.09.010, the
Procurement Manager has determined that utilization of Los Angeles County's
cooperative purchase contract (SH-13321594-1) for the vehicle is acceptable and will
adequately protect the public interest in that the total cost of the equipment is likely to
be less than could be obtained through an independent City competitive process. In
addition, due to the end of the 2013 model year, availability is very limited and no other
dealerships have inventory of the Police version of the Ford Explorer. The outfitting of
the vehicle would be performed by West Coast Lights and Siren under the terms of their
existing purchase order contract as a result of Invitation for Bid 13-06 awarded by
Council on 12/5/12.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This purchase is not an obligation of the City's General Fund. The total cost of
$35,984.30 will be paid from Police AB109 account 170-3212-50020, reimbursable from
the Community Corrections Partnership Executive Committee (CCPEC) of Riverside
County.
