Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council authorize the purchase of one Chevrolet Malibu for the City Manager's Department, one Ford Fusion and one Ford Escape for City pool cars.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the City Manager's department car is 10 years old and has reached its useful life for out-of-town travel. In addition, the city's two pool cars are also more than 10 years old and require replacement
DISCUSSION:
Staff has been obtaining bids from local dealers and is recommending (1) new Chevrolet Malibu from Jessup Chevrolet and (1) Ford Fusion and (1) Ford Escape from Palm Springs Motors at a total price not to exceed $70,000 plus tax/tags/license fee. The acquisition of the vehicles may vary at time of delivery due to year end incentives not yet announced. Staff would request council authorization to substitute one or more of the vehicles for like models if pricing is more preferential but not exceed the authorized amount. The acquisition of said vehicles was approved during the biennial budget process and is funded through the equipment replacement fund.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Replacement of the vehicles is funded in the equipment replacement fund.
