APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF AIRPORT SECURITY VEHICLES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council approve the cooperative purchase of 1 CNG-powered
passenger van from Ramsey Street Ford, Banning, CA through the County of Riverside
contract in the amount of$27,950.35, including applicable sales tax and delivery charges
and 1 crewcab pickup truck from Downtown Ford, Sacramento, CA, through the State of
California contract in the amount of$27,604.47, including applicable sales tax and delivery
charges FOB Los Angeles; total amount for both vehicles $55,554.82.
SUMMARY:
In order to assist Airport staff with meeting the security requirements mandated by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the FAA has agreed to allow the purchase of 2
security vehicles, which will be reimbursed via an Airport Improvement Grant (AIP).
BACKGROUND:
As a result of the September 11'h attacks, the FAA is continuing to mandate additional
security requirements on commercial service airports, including Palm Springs. A major
portion of these mandates is visibility of personnel and vehicles in all areas of the Airport.
These additional vehicles will assist staff in meeting these requirements.
The additional vehicles are as follows:
CNG Passenger Van $25,940.00
Sales Ta $2,010.35
Crewcab pickup $25,619.00
Sales Tax: $1,985.47
TOTA $55,554.82
The Procurement Manager, in accordance with Municipal Code Section 3.12.270.6 has
researched the comparative costs, values and feasibility of using our own competitive
process versus utilization of a state or other cooperative contract. The Procurement
Manager finds that sufficient competition has been conducted to protect the public interest
and the costs for vehicles and equipment obtained through the County of Riverside and the
State of California vehicle contracts are less than the City would obtain through conducting
independent processes.
In accordance with Section VI of the Replacement Policy and as a part of our ongoing
commitment to alternate fuel vehicles, one of the new vehicles is CNG-powered. The
second vehicle is not available with an acceptable alternative fuel engine.
The Airport Commission will consider this item at it's meeting of February 6", 2002.
A Minute Order is attached for City Council consideration.
Funds are available in Account No 415-60-6600-56029, Ramp 26. This item will be
reimbursable via a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
