INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
To:
Lisa L. Kim From: Samuel Kim
Dept:
City Manager Dept: Public Works
Date: 4/14/2026
Subject: Approval of an Amendment to the Agreement with Seavco dba Irv Seaver Motorcycles for repair of City-owned Police Department motorcycles. (Cost: $250,000)(Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For the City Council to approve an Amendment to authorize an increase to the contract with Seavco dba Irv Seaver Motorcycles for repair of City-owned Police Department motorcycles.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department/Vehicle Maintenance Division is responsible for maintaining the City’s fleet of vehicles and equipment. The City entered into a one (1) year contract on May 15, 2025 with four (4) option years, at $50,000 per year, with Seavco dba Irv Seaver Motorcycles, the City’s vendor for Police Department motorcycle repairs. The Police Department had nine (9) Traffic Division BMW motorcycles during the last contract and that number has increased to fourteen motorcycles on the new contract.
DISCUSSION
Seavco dba Irv Seaver Motorcycles is the best fit for the Garden Grove Police Department since it is the closest dealer to the city. Due to the frequency of drop off and pickups by Police officers, increased costs of repairs and two (2) major accidents within the last six (6) months, it is in the best interest of the City to have a dealer nearby that creates the least amount of down time away from patrol. As a result, it has been determined that a contract in the amount of $100,000 per year is needed to cover the increased cost of repairs.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact is an additional $250,000 to the Fleet Management Fund. There is no impact to the General Fund.
Item 119/2026
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize the Finance Director to appropri ate $ 50,000 from the Fleet Management Fund for the remainder of the current contract through June 30, 2026;
Authorize an increase of $50,000 to each of the four (4) remaining contract option years for a total annual allocation in the amount of $100,000 for each of the remaining annual terms of the contract; and
Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute the amendments, including the option year term extensions, and make minor modification s as appropriate thereto on behalf of the City.
