Petitioner/Presenter: Neil C. Krutz, P.E., Deputy City Manager/Ron Korman, Fleet and Facilities Manager
Recommendation: Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of these Chevrolet vehicles in the amount of $193,412.50 from Champion Chevrolet.
Financial Impact: $330,000.00 was budgeted in Fund 1702, Key Serv 130660-Other Enterprise Capital Projects; Program 13-7500-Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Plan; Account 604080-Vehicles for the replacement and upfitting of these vehicles.
Total Costs: $193,412.50
Fund: Motor Vehicle Maintenance    Account: 604080
Program: 1702 Vehicle & Equip Replacement Plan (13-7500)
Amount: $193,412.50    Budget Status: Budget Exists
Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
    
A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.
Agenda Item Brief: Equipment Services is requesting authorization to spend $193,412.50 to replace six vehicles for the Police Department.


Background: This request is for replacement of patrol vehicles #224L, 227L, 240L, 264B, 267B, and 269A. 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 bid. The State of Nevada bid has 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 six 2013 Chevrolet vehicles from Champion Chevrolet in the amount of $193,412.50.
