Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Authorization to Purchase Police Vehicles Directly from Vendor Prepared by: Nate Schmidt, Captain Dublin Police Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider authorizing the purchase of two police vehicles from Livermore Auto Group and Livermore Harley Davidson, based on negotiated pricing, to replace existing vehicles which will be declared as surplus property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Authorizing Staff to Purchase Police Vehicles Directly from Vendor and Declaring Vehicles Replaced as Surplus Property, and approve the budget change. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is sufficient funding in the Internal Service - Vehicle Replacement Fund for this purchase. Upon approval of the budget change, Staff will appropriate $88,546.56 for the purchase of one Ford F-150 Police Responder, one 2019 Harley Davidson FLHTP Electra Glide Police Motorcycle, and emergency equipment to outfit both vehicles. Any revenue generated from the auction of the retired vehicles is also deposited into the fund to offset future replacement costs. DESCRIPTION: Currently, the City has 20 marked police vehicles and four marked police motorcycles in the fleet. Marked police vehicles and police motorcycles are used by Dublin Police Services patrol, traffic, and crime prevention personnel. In order to assure reliability and to minimize repair expense, the City reviews replacement of these vehicles for potential replacement after three years of service and/or 75,000 miles. Based upon general vehicle condition and the age of units currently in the fleet, Staff has identified a 2006 Ford Ranger (#06D36) and a 2010 Harley Davidson Road King (#10M73) for replacement during Fiscal Year 2017 -18. Staff recommends a 2018 Ford F-150 to replace the 2006 Ford Ranger, and a 2019 Harley Davidson FLHTP Electra Page 2 of 3 Glide to replace the 2010 Harley Davidson Road King. The City Municipal Code requires that purchases in excess of $45,000 be awarded by the City Council. The award is to be made based on formal sealed bids unless one of the allowed exceptions is utilized. The Municipal Code contains a specific exception to the formal bid process when the purchase is for vehicles. The exception is shown below: Section 2.36.100(B)(10) Dublin Municipal Code: When the City Council specifically waives the competitive bid process and authorizes staff to negotiate the purchase of vehicles by a four-fifths (4/5) vote. (Ord. 12-12 § 2 (part). Staff has determined that solicitation of formal bids from car dealerships for the purchase of Police vehicles is not feasible nor practical and therefore requests that the City Council authorize these purchases through negotiation. This process is based on negotiated pricing from Livermore Auto Group, Future Ford of Concord and The Ford Store San Leandro for the purchase of the Ford F150, and negotiated pricing from Livermore Harley Davidson, McGuire Harley Davidson and Oakland Harley Davidson for the purchase of the motorcycle. The lowest cost presented for the one 2018 Ford F-150 was from Livermore Auto Group. The competitive pricing obtained is shown in the table below.

It is estimated the cost to outfit the 2018 Ford F-150 with emergency equipment will be $15,000.00 and the cost to outfit the 2019 Harley Davidson with emergency equipment will be $10,000.00. The purchase of these vehicles and equipment will require the approval of a budget change (Attachment 2) to appropriate the funding. At this time, Staff is also requesting City Council authorization to dispose of the replaced vehicles, by transferring them to a professional auction company for sale once the new vehicles are placed into service.
