Agenda Item Brief: Equipment Services is requesting authorization to spend $59,157.50 to replace one patrol vehicle for the Police Department, and one paint truck chassis for Community Services.
Background: This request is for the replacement of one patrol sedan #271A with a crew cab pickup; and one paint truck chassis #434C. The bed for #434C will be swapped from the old truck to save some costs. These vehicles have reached the end of their life cycle. These vehicles have had their life cycles extended, and now the maintenance costs are exceeding the worth of the vehicles.
Analysis: In sourcing these vehicles, if approved, the City would be using the joinder provision allowed under NRS 332.195, and purchasing these vehicles utilizing the State of Nevada vehicle bid. Utilizing existing bids have historically been the most competitive. Utilizing the “joinder” provision allows the City to precisely define the vehicles needed while foregoing the need to formally bid the item.
Alternatives: 1. Council could approve this purchase as outlined by staff. 2. Council could deny this purchase. 3. Council could direct staff to provide alternatives to this purchase.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve the purchase of three vehicles from Carson Dodge in the amount of $59,157.50.
