Ready, City Manager BY: Assistant City Manager —Administrative Services Annually, the City's fleet is reviewed and staff prepares a list of vehicles that are eligible to be replaced due to their age, mileage and other factors. This action would award the purchase of fourteen (14) new Crown Victoria 2008 Police Interceptors for use by the Police Department. These vehicles are replacements for existing units. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of fourteen (14) new Ford Crown Victoria 2008 Police Interceptors for use by the Police Department in the amount of $340,599.26 from Wondries Ford of Alhambra, California. STAFF ANALYSIS: The City inventory of vehicles and equipment is examined annually in conjunction with the budget process to determine which units meet criteria established by the City Council in Resolution Number 18834 for replacement. City vehicles and equipment are replaced based on a number of factors, including vehicle mileage, age; maintenance costs, operating costs, and the resale value of the vehicle and/or equipment to be replaced. In accordance with City policy, the units that are being recommended have been reviewed by the City's Fleet Review Committee (FRC) and meet the established criteria for replacement. ITEM NO.— Approve Purchase of New Crown Victoria Police Interceptors October 3, 2007 Page 2 of 2 Section 7.09.010 of the Municipal Code provides that the City Council may authorize the acquisition of supplies, equipment or services through a joint powers or other cooperative purchasing program with a public entity or association of public agencies. The County of Los Angeles recently awarded a purchase contract to Wondries Ford to acquire 50 Crown Victoria Police Interceptors. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.09.010, the Procurement Manager has determined that utilization of Los Angeles County's purchase contract (Bid #229152) is acceptable and will adequately protect the public interest in that the total cost of the equipment will likely be less than could be obtained through an independent City competitive process. FISCAL. IMPACT: This is a budgeted expense. Funds are available in the Motor Vehicle Replacement Fund (Account 510-5475-50020). Craig Gladder§ Procurement Manager Troy .
