Agenda #: 5.5
Meeting Date: August 1, 2023
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Daniel Fox, City Manager
TITLE: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE A CITY FLEET VEHICLE FROM PUENTE HILLS FORD.
STRATEGIC
GOAL: Responsible Stewardship of Public Resources
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order in the amount of $52,222.83 to Puente Hills Ford for the purchase of one (1) Ford zero emission vehicle.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding is available in the FY2023/24 Vehicle Maintenance and Replacement Fund (Fund 502) for the scheduled purchase of one (1) new Ford zero-emission vehicle in the amount of $52,222.83. The vehicle purchase is fully off-set by AB 2766 Air Quality Management District Funds via a transfer from Fund 251.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The FY2023/24 budget included the purchase of two (2) zero-emission replacement vehicles as part of the scheduled operation and maintenance of the City’s fleet vehicles.
The proposed purchase order is for the first of two (2) zero-emission vehicles for this fiscal year. The second vehicle will likely need to be ordered directly from the factory and will be considered separately by the Council at a future date.
On July 25, 2023 the Public Works Department solicited quotes from local Ford dealers for a 2023 Mustang Mach-E Select that are available on the lot. The City received three (3) responses from local dealers ranging from $52,222.83 to $57,598.62. The quotes are as follows:
• Puente Hills Ford $52,222.83
• Fairview Ford $52,636.59
• Performance Ford $57,598.62
The Puente Hills Ford’s quote is attached. Therefore, consistent with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, it is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Puente Hills Ford to purchase the zero-emission vehicle.
