CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT ITEM #18 FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF September 4, 2007 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BOB MILLER, CHIEF OF POLICE SUBJECT: AWARD A CONTRACT FOR A POLICE VEHICLE FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO WONDRIES FLEET GROUP IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $34,261.40 DATE: September 4, 2007 BACKGROUND: At the City Council meeting of 06/19/07, the City Council approved the Budget for fiscal year 2007/2008. In the budget, funds were allocated from the General Fund for the purchase of police vehicles to replace vehicles in the police department fleet that are no longer suitable for law enforcement purposes due to excessive mileage and wear and tear thus rendering them unsafe. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Police Department has identified both marked and unmarked police units that need replacement in the Patrol Division and the Detective Division. Wondries Fleet Group Alhambra has submitted a quote for the purchase of the following vehicle: General Fund Budget Purchase: (1) 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe (unmarked unit) - $34,261.40 Section 3.08 .140 © of the City's Purchasing Ordinance allows the City to enter into agreements with other agencies for the purchase of supplies, services and equipment. In such instances, the procedures of that agency shall satisfy all city requirements for the bid and award those purchases. The City of Colton can piggyback onto the County of Los Angeles PO #31105094 for the purchase of one unmarked Chevrolet Tahoe. This will save the city the cost of a formal bid process and allow us to take advantage of current pricing as well as the volume discount afforded to Wondries Fleet Group. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds to purchase and outfit the vehicles were approved and adopted in the 2007/2008 budget. $ 34,261.40 from the General Fund #100-6070-6071-4910 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None
