BACKGROUND The City Council approved the replacement of old, high mileage vehicles for the City Public Services Department in the 2002-03 fiscal year budget. The purchase of the vehicles will be replacing three existing vehicles for the Public Services Department. The vehicles that will be replaced are, 1) Unit # 176 - 1981 Ford pick up 2) Unit # 182 - 1981 Ford pick up 3) Unit # 624 - 1987 Dodge pick up. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS Recently the City of Santa Monica solicited bids and awarded a contract to Wondries Ford Fleet Division for Ford F150 pick up trucks. Therefore, the City of Colton can tag onto the City of Santa Monica's Bid #14862.The City of Colton can tag on to this bid and purchase three pick- ups for the same price. The vehicle proposed is a Dedicated Compressed Natural Gas vehicle and is incompliance with South Coast Air Quality Management District's Rule 1191, "Clean On -Road Light and Medium Duty Public Fleet Vehicles". They meet the California Air Resources Board's certification for "Low Emissions -Vehicles" (LEV). ALTERNATIVES Go out to competitive bid, which will delay the purchase of these vehicles for the Public Services Department. It is also highly unlikely that a more favorable price for the trucks would be obtained. FINANCIAL IMPACT The funds are available in the FY 2002-03 budget for the Pollution Reduction Fund in account number 214-7000-7011-4910.
