CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 4, 2000 <br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR PRO TEM AND C UNCIL MEMBERS <br />APPROVAL: HENRY T. GARCIA, CITY MANAGE �D� <br />FROM: AL HOLLIMAN, FINANCE DIRECTORUw <br />SUBJECT: AWARD A CONTRACT FOR FOUR BLAZERS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO <br />ROTOLO CHEVROLET FLEET DIVISION IN THE AMOUNT OF $89,728. <br />DATE: MARCH 27, 2000 <br />AW&CtYQNJPU; <br />The Police Department has two compact pick-up trucks and one converted black & white police car that <br />have excessive mileage and another detective vehicle that has been in an accident and is not worth the <br />cost to repair it. These are unmarked vehicles that will be replaced by asset seizure funds. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS <br />Recently San Bernardino County solicited bids and awarded a contract to Rotolo Chevrolet Fleet <br />Division for 2 -wheel drive Blazers. While the vehicles being replaced consist of two compact pick-up <br />trucks and two passenger cars, replacement with the Blazers results in the optimum cost/benefit <br />scenario for the City. The City of Colton can tag on to the San Bernardino County Proposal #K30 and <br />save the cost of the formal bid process as well as receiving the County's quantity discount. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Solicit sealed proposals for these vehicles, however, the cost may well be higher due to the smaller <br />quantity. The order cut-off for year 2000 vehicles is April 6, 2000. If we solicit bids we will have to wait <br />for the 2001 vehicles. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />The funds are available from asset seizure and will be transferred to account #261-6070-6083-4910. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the City Council tag on to the San Bernardino County Proposal #K30 and award a <br />contract to Rotolo Chevrolet Fleet Division for four, 2 -wheel drive Blazers for the Police Department in <br />the amount of $89,728. Staff also recommends the City Council authorize the appropriation and <br />transfer of funds from the asset seizure account to purchase these vehicles. <br />Report prepared by Mary J.
