Information

Request/Subject

Request to Advertise Invitation for Bids No.112920-Replacement of Six (6) Sheriff's Office Patrol Vehicles

Background Information

The advertisement for six new Ford Expedition Special Service Vehicles (SSVs) would allow the County General Services Fleet Division the ability to receive proposals from automobile suppliers and have the option to purchase up to six new units by June 30, 2021.

Evaluation

The vehicles mentioned in the agenda request will be needed in the fleet in the coming year for use by Sheriff Office patrol officers. These vehicles would replace units (B-107, B-108, B-120, B-127, B-128, and B-145) that are costing a lot of money in repairs and fuel and are at or above 200,000 miles as supported by Agile Fleet Data and current General Services Fleet Division Vehicle Replacement Plan Data. Vehicles (B-107, B-108, B-120, B-127, B-128, and B-145) will be used as a “trade-in” to prevent increasing the size of the fleet and will be disposed of at auction.

Conclusion

The vehicles that will be purchased with this solicitation will be used by the Sheriff’s Office patrol officers to replace older vehicles that have met the requirements of the County and have exceeded the recommended replacement intervals.

Recommendation

The Public Works Department Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 112920 for the purchase of six 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. 112920-Replacement of Six (6) Sheriff's Office Patrol Vehicles. (Steve Sanders)
