DISCUSSION

County Purchasing issued a Request for Bid (RFB) to replace worn out vehicles. Two vendors submitted bids for Fleet vehicles (RFB 23-03). Notices of Intent to Award were mailed to all bidders and the 10-day protest period ended on September 5, 2023. The lowest responsive bids are tabulated below.  Fleet Management will issue Purchase Orders for individual vehicles if and as they are needed.  Due to extended delivery times, an increase in vehicle purchases from 18 to 33 is necessary to maintain the vehicle replacement schedule. This increase is reflected in the requested budget amendment.

ALTERNATIVES

The Board may elect to solicit bids for each purchase; however, economies of scale would be foregone. The Board may elect not to approve the budget amendment, some vehicle purchases would need to be moved to next fiscal year.

OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT

County Purchasing managed the RFB process. The Recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office.

FISCAL IMPACT

Upon approval of the Recommendation, there will be sufficient appropriations in the Adopted Fiscal Year 2022-23 Fleet Management Replacement budget to purchase the vehicles. The increase will be covered by existing retained earnings.
