HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.3 Unmarked Police Vehicle Purchase • CITY OF DUBLIN AGENDA STATEMENT CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 9, 1989 SUBJECT • Unmarked Police Vehicle Purchase - Rejection of Original Bids and Authorization to Solicit Bids (Prepared by James W. Rose, Lt . ) EXHIBITS ATTACHED (1) Original Vehicle Specifications (2) Amended Vehicle Specifications (3) Original Bids Received RECOMMENDATIONS (1) Reject bids and amend vehicle specifications . �(`l) Authorize Staff to solicit bids for V one (1) unmarked police vehicle . (3) Authorize Staff to solicit bids for emergency equipment . FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated purchase of vehicle, emergency equipment plus installation - $15, 000 DESCRIPTION On August 28, 1989, Staff recommended that the City solicit bids for the purchase of one unmarked police vehicle from one of the rental vehicle firms selling their approximately one year old cars . This recommendation was approved on that date and bids were requested . Upon receipt of the bids from the companies responding; Avis, Hertz and National , Staff finds that these bids are unacceptable for the purchase of the appropriate vehicle for the following reasons : 1 . The bid received from Avis was incomplete . 2. The bid received from Hertz was for an EPA rated compact vehicle not meeting the stated minimum specifications of intermediate size vehicle or larger ( information obtained from Larry Winkler , Sales Manager , Shamrock Ford ) . 3 . The bid received from National, although meeting the originally stated specifications, amended their bid to include numerous other vehicle types, thereby rendering this bid, as submitted, ambiguous and thus unacceptable . Further study by Staff into the purchase of an unmarked police vehicle with the original specifications shows that at this date the specifications should be amended . Staff has found that bids be requested for 1989 model vehicles instead of the originally specified 1988 vehicles as 1988 vehicles are now in shorter supply within the City' s mileage requirements and selection is limited on vehicle body styles appropriate for the police needs/requirements . Staff recommends that the City re-solicit bids to purchase an unmarked police vehicle . The vehicles are typically full size; standard equipped with a V-6 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning; radio and body trim and incorporating the amended . "Specifications for Used Automobiles " . In accordance with the City' s Purchasing Ordinance, the purchase of police vehicles should be the result' of a competitive bid, as • well as the cost of radio and emergency equipment . • COPIES TO: ITEM NO. . � The vehicle would need to be outfitted with a police radio, siren and red light . These emergency equipment items are available from Alameda' County Communications, who is the major vendor and installer of police communications equipment in Alameda County. Sufficient funds were budgeted for the purpose of purchasing and outfitting the vehicle with emergency equipment . • CITY OF DUBLIN SPECIFICATIONS FOR USED AUTOMOBILES SCOPE: This specification describes the City of Dublin requirements for used 1988 model year passenger vehicles. • • GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: The vehicles shall be used 1988 model year production with 2 ,000 • miles or less on the odometer.
