Cassandra Sanchez, Director of Public Works / City Engineer Brian Blackwell, Streets Operation Manager
SUBJECT:
Vehicle Procurement – One (1) Full-Size Service Truck
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Victorville Chevrolet Cadillac for the purchase of one (1) 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 service truck in the not-to-exceed amount of $66,488.
BACKGROUND
This new service truck is needed to replace a twenty-one-year-old unit that has reached the end of its useful life and is no longer reliable for field service work. The annual costs attributed to maintaining the asset exceed salvage value. Those units that require higher than expected lifetime maintenance costs to remain operational are recommended for replacement.
Service trucks are multi-purpose assets used across divisions for daily operations, emergency response, seasonal obligations, maintenance, and specialized requirements. These trucks carry tools, materials, and equipment to job sites throughout the City. This new service truck will also serve as a refueling station, delivering fuel directly to machinery.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Hesperia Public Works requested a quote for one (1) full-size truck on April 19, 2026, soliciting bids from nine dealerships both locally and out of the area to maximize bid response. A requirement was included that the vehicle be available for delivery by June 30th, 2026. The bid closed on May 5, 2026, with three responses received. Staff recommends awarding the bid to Victorville Chevrolet Cadillac, with a total bid of $66,487.99, who has been deemed the lowest responsive and responsible vendor.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate reserves exist in the Public Works Streets fund 263 for the proposed purchase of this one (1) full-size service truck.
ALTERNATIVE(S)
1. Provide alternative direction to staff.
