SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City Council of Commerce, California, Approving Purchase of a Heavy-Duty Commercial Tire Changer and Accessory Equipment in an Amount not to exceed $100,000.
MEETING DATE: December 9, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommend that the City Council:
Adopt a resolution to approve the purchase of a heavy-duty commercial tire changer and accessory equipment in an amount not to exceed $100,000, utilizing the State of California, Purchasing Contract No 7-23-99-48-01.
Recognize and appropriate Federal Section 5307 Grant Funds (Grant # CA-2023-034-02-01) in the amount of $100,000.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Commerce was awarded a $100,000 grant (CA-2023-034-02-01) from the Federal Transit Administrator (FTA) for the purchase of bus service operating equipment for the City’s transit fleet. This capital grant allows the City to purchase operating equipment using capital grant funds.
ANALYSIS:
The State of California’s contract documents comply with all the requirements set by the State, Federal Transit Administration, and the City for competitive procurement. The Transportation staff have determined that purchasing this heavy-duty commercial tire changer and equipment is of the utmost importance for providing reliable preventable tire maintenance and repairs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total purchase cost of approximately $100,000 will be funded entirely by the Federal Section 5307 Grant Funds (Grant # CA-2023-034-02-01). Approval of this item authorizes the recognition and appropriation of these grant funds into the FY 2025-26 budget in accounts 57-5100-37507.10371 (revenue) and 57-8338-80300.10371 (expense). Because the purchase is 100% grant-funded, there is no impact on the City’s General Fund, and no local cost share is required.
