Agenda Item Brief:

Fleet Services is requesting approval to purchase two vehicles for Sewer Engineering in the amount of $53,424.50.

Background:

Staff is requesting approval to purchase two new Dodge Ram pickups for Sewer Engineering to replace #439A, and #460B. These vehicles have reached the end of their life cycle and were scheduled for replacement during the 2016 fiscal year.

Analysis:

In sourcing these vehicles, if approved, the City will be utilizing the “joinder” provision allowed under NRS 332.115, and purchasing these vehicles utilizing the state of Nevada vehicle bid. Utilizing existing bids have historically been the most completive. Utilizing the “joiner” provision allows the City to precisely define the vehicles needed while foregoing the need to formally bid the item.

Alternatives:

None.

Recommended Motion:

I move to approve the purchase of two Dodge Ram pickup trucks from Carson Dodge in the amount of $53,424.50.
