SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Equipment Replacement Budget provides for the replacement of one compact pickup truck for the Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) that meets the criteria outlined in the City’s Vehicle Replacement Program.
To ensure that the City is receiving the most competitive price, a formal bid process was conducted; Envision DTE FD Auto LLC submitted the lowest responsive bid. It is recommended that the City Council approve a Purchase Order with Envision DTE FD Auto LLC for the purchase of one 2025 Ford Maverick, in the amount of $36,796.50.
BACKGROUND
The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Equipment Replacement Budget provides for the purchase of one compact pickup truck for the PWSD. The vehicle that will be replaced is a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado with approximately 96,000 miles, which meets the age criteria of the City’s Vehicle Replacement Program. In addition, the anti-lock braking system is failing and replacement parts are increasingly difficult to obtain. While preparing the bid documents for the vehicle that would replace the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, it was determined that 2025 Ford Mavericks were available at local dealerships and would provide expedited delivery. Therefore, a new 2025 Ford Maverick will be purchased to replace the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado. The 2025 Ford Maverick will be used by the

PWSD’s Utilities Section to read, replace, and troubleshoot water meters throughout the City. The Ford Maverick was selected for its ability to easily transport water meters, fittings, gaskets, and seals, as well as the necessary tools and safety gear required for meter reading, replacement, and troubleshooting when connectivity issues arise. This vehicle will also be used to support customer service responses related to the City’s water meter infrastructure.
DISCUSSION
A Notice Inviting Bids was published in accordance with City Council Resolution No. 7483, and bid packages were distributed to local vendors who provide this type of vehicle. On November 13, 2025, the City Clerk received two bids with the following results:
Bidder Location Bid Amount
Envision DTE FD Auto LLC Duarte, CA $36,796.50
Colley Ford Glendora, CA $37,680.83
A third bidder, Sager Ford, initially expressed interest in the bid and received a bid package; however, they did not submit their bid by the deadline. All bid documents were reviewed for content, and the background and qualifications of the lowest responsive bidder were verified. It was concluded that that Envision DTE FD Auto LLC is the lowest responsive bidder that meets the City’s required vehicle specifications.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for the 2025 Ford Maverick is $36,796.50. The Fiscal Year 2025-26 Equipment Replacement Budget includes $60,900 for the purchase of this vehicle.
