Agenda Item Brief: Equipment Services is requesting authorization to spend $55,917.00 to replace a 14 passenger van used to transport Community Services workers from the pickup location to the various work sites around the City on a daily basis.
Background: This request is for the purchase of a 14 passenger mini bus. This vehicle will replace 28A. 28A was purchased in 2001 and has 74,303 miles on it. The maintenance costs on this van have become excessive and our intent is to purchase a vehicle that will stand up to the rigors of daily use better than a passenger van.
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: 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 this purchase of a Prodigy 14 passenger bus from Northwest Bus Sales Inc. in the amount of $55,917.00.
