Approve and authorize the purchase of two pickup trucks from Crown Motors of Redding, California for a total price of $74,067.28 (including tax and delivery).

SUMMARY

The purchase of vehicles for facilities maintenance use is proposed.

DISCUSSION

The Facilities Management Division of the Public Works Department maintains County buildings and facilities.  Two pickup trucks have reached the end of their service life.  Specifications were prepared.  Crown Motors of Redding provided the lowest quote.  They will provide both trucks, including all appurtenances, taxes and delivery costs for a total price of $74,067.28.
