HomeMy WebLinkAboutE-9 Staff Report - SUV Purchase FY 20-21 CONSENT ITEM
E-9
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MIKE BERTELSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: AUGUST 17, 2020
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FOUR (4) 2020 FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY
VEHICLES
BACKGROUND:
As part of the ongoing fleet management program at the Azusa Police Department, police vehicles are
retired out of the fleet when appropriate and deemed necessary. The Police Department is retiring four
(4) vehicles and needs to purchase four (4), 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles from National
Auto Fleet Group in Watsonville, CA as replacement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the purchase of four (4), 2020 Ford Police Interceptor
Utility vehicles from National Auto Fleet Group, 490 Auto Center Drive, Watsonville, CA 95076 in an
amount not to exceed $150,067.60 using the competitive bid process previously completed by the
County of Los Angeles, under Sourcewell master vehicle contract (formally known as the NJPA master
vehicle contract (#120716)), as authorized under Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-521 – Cooperative,
piggyback and multiple bid purchasing with other agencies.
ANALYSIS:
Each year the Police Department budgets to replace high mileage patrol vehicles. This year’s fleet
rotation involves replacing four (4) vehicles from the fleet to reduce the annual capital outlay for patrol
vehicles, while providing safe, reliable and up-to-date equipment for patrol officers and other public
safety personnel. Not only does this high mileage vehicle become expensive to maintain, but a
compromise to officer and public safety. The vehicle to be removed from the fleet is beyond the
warranty and in need of retirement from patrol deployment.
