Information

Request/Subject

Request to Advertise Invitation for Bids No. 111518-1 for the Purchase of Four (4) New Ford Expeditions SSV's for Sheriff's Office patrol use.

Background Information

The advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 111518-1 for four (4) new Ford Expedition SSVs would allow the County Fleet Department the ability to receive proposals from automobile suppliers and have the option to purchase up to four (4) new units by April 1, 2019.

Evaluation

The vehicles mentioned in the agenda request will be needed in the fleet in the coming year for the Sheriff’s Office for patrol use. These vehicles would replace units B-107 2006 Ford Expedition 4x4 with 234,711 miles, B-116 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x2 with 171,785 miles, B-127 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x2 with 208,553 miles and B-114 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe 4x2 with 197,600 miles that are costing a lot of money in repairs and fuel. Vehicles B-107, B-116, B-127 and B-114 will be used as a “trade-in” to prevent increasing the size of the fleet and will be disposed at auction.

Conclusion

The vehicles that will be purchased with this solicitation will be used by the Sheriff’s Office patrol to replace older vehicles.

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 111518-1 for the purchase of four (4) new Ford Expedition SSVs with installed equipment as outlined in the solicitation.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to authorize the advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 111518-1 to purchase four (4) new Ford Expedition SSVs with installed equipment. (Steve Sanders)
