Title: Consideration and possible approval of the purchase of two Chevrolet 4X2 Tahoes for the Police Department from Champion Chevrolet in the amount of $60,418.00.

Petitioner/Presenter: Neil Krutz – Community Services Director/Ron Korman Fleet and Facilities Manager

Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of these vehicles from Champion Chevrolet in the amount of $60,418.

Financial Impact: $60,418 from the vehicle replacement fund and $17,160 annual depriciation and maintenance costs to the Police Department.

Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.

Agenda Item Brief: Fleet Services is requesting permission to spend $60,418 to purchase two replacement vehicles from Champion Chevrolet for the Police Department.

Background: This request is for replacement of 222I, and 230K, Police Patrol Vehicles that have reached the end of their life cycle. These vehicles have had their life cycle extended, and now the maintenance costs are exceeding the worth of the vehicles. 222I was not on the replacement list for this year it was substituted for 233K which was replaced last year. There were three Police Patrol vehicles approved for replacement this year, however one has not reached the projected mileage, and will be deferred until next year.

Analysis: In sourcing the vehicle, if approved, the City would be using the joinder provision allowed under NRS 332.195, and purchasing the vehicles utilizing the State of Nevada bid. The State of Nevada bid has historically been the most competitive. Utilizing the “joinder” provision allows the City to precisely define the vehicle needed while foregoing the need to formally bid the item.

Alternatives: Fleet services could continue to repair these vehicles and extend their life.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the purchase of these two patrol vehicles from Champion Chevrolet in the amount of $60,418.
