DATE: June 8, 2022
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It
is recommended that the City Council:
1) Award three (3) Professional Services Agreements, No.’s 3988, 3989, and 3990, to (i) Ford of Montebello, Inc. (dba Ford of Montebello), (ii) Montebello Auto Group, LLC ( dba Chevrolet of Montebello) , and (iii) SHAK Enterprises , Inc. (dba Montebello Tire Pros), for a three-year (3-year) term with the option for renewal of up to two (2) additional one-year (1-year) terms, for an annual total not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 with each vendor , with the City of Montebello (City) to establish an as-needed vendor bench for the Citywide Fleet Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services Request for Proposal, No. 22-4 (RFP No. 22-4); and 2) Authorize the City Manager, and/or his designee, to take action necessary to execute and finalize each proposed agreement (No.’s 3988-3990) on behalf of the City; and
3) Take such additional, related, action that may be desirable.
FISCAL IMPACT
As
part of the City’s proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 Budget, funding for Citywide Fleet Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services are appropriated in the b udgets of the following departments: Public Works, Police, Fire, Recreation and Community Services, and Transportation. The annual cost for the as -needed services is for a total not -to- exceed amount of $ 300,000, distributed proportionally across the various Departments.
This amount is similar to actual expenditures in prior years, and what was budgeted for FY 2021-2022. The proposed FY 2022-2023 budget includes sufficient funding based on 14 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022 Award three (3) Professional Service Agreements, No.’s 3988, 3989 and 3990, to (i) Ford of Montebello, (ii) Chevrolet of Montebello, and (iii) Montebello Tire Pros, to establish an as-needed vendor bench for the City wide Fleet Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services Request for Proposal, No. 22-4
these prior year trends for the vehicle maintenance and repair services.
BACKGROUND
On January 27, 2022, the City published RFP No. 22-4 (see Attachment “A”) to solicit proposals from highly qualified vendors to provide vehicle maintenance and repair services for over two hundred city-owned and operated vehicles on an as-needed basis.
Prospective vendors were provided the opportunity to submit questions and concerns, and corresponding answers were published using the City’s advertising platform, PlanetBids.com. In addition, it was the vendors’ responsibility to review and acknowledge all publicly announced addendums and then craft a scope of service in accordance with such changes. Furthermore, vendors were asked to thoroughly review the requirements and submit a complete proposal package including a cover sheet, resume, cost proposal, and three (3) references.
Proposals were due on Thursday, April 21, 2022. The City received four (4) proposals from the following vendors: Ford of Montebello, Chevrolet of Montebello, Montebello Tire Pros, and Diego’s Auto Repair, Inc.
Staff conducted a preliminary review of the four (4) proposals and determined that the proposal submitted by Diego’s Auto Repair, Inc. (Diego’s Auto Repair), lacked the responsibility necessary to provide the requested services. The vendor did not provide any detailed description or information on the company’s workforce, and it was unclear if the vendor had a sufficient number of technicians to meet the City’s service workload while maintaining its day-to-day operation. In addition, Diego’s Auto Repair demonstrated limited experience with multi -year contracts . The remaining three (3) proposals were approved to be reviewed further by the Evaluation Committee.
ANALYSIS
On April 28, 2022, an Evaluation Committee comprised of three (3) raters (Public Works and Transportation Department) evaluated the three (3 ) proposals. Each rater independently reviewed and evaluated each proposal in accordance with the selection process outlined in RFP No. 22-4 (see Attachment “A”).
The proposals received from Ford of Montebello, Chevrolet of Montebello , and Montebello Tire Pros demonstrated that each vendor has the capabilities, expertise, and sufficient resources and workforce to provide the as -needed services requested in RFP No. 22-4. The manufacturing car dealerships, Chevrolet and Ford of Montebello, are well- established vehicle service providers with a network, workforce, and facility footprint that specialize in the manufacturer’s vehicle brand. Both vendors also offer service capabilities for electric vehicles. This is notable since these vehicle brands are maintained within the CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF JUNE 8, 2022
Award three (3) Professional Service Agreements, No.’s 3988, 3989 and 3990, to (i) Ford of Montebello, (ii) Chevrolet of Montebello, and (iii) Montebello Tire Pros, to establish an as-needed vendor bench for the City wide Fleet Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Services Request for Proposal, No. 22-4
city-owned vehicle fleet. In addition, Montebello Tire Pros offers flat rates on routine maintenance services with committed same-day turnaround.
Lastly, these three (3) vendors provide ASE -certified automotive technicians, o ffer an online customer portal that provides vehicle status updates and streamlined services, and possess extensive fleet service management experience. This experience will help each vendor develop a Fleet Service Management Plan customized to the City’s needs t hat ensures operational, reliable, and safe vehicles.
As stated in RFP No. 22-4 , the City will award an agreement to the responsive and responsible vendor whose proposal conforms to the requirements of RFP No. 22-4 and is determined to be the most advantageous to the City, based on the Evaluation Criteria.
Conversely, the City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals for any reason and award an agreement that suits the City’s best interest. Acknowledging these facts, it is recommended that the City Council award three (3) Professional Services Agreements to (i) Ford of Montebello, (ii) Chevrolet of Montebello, and (iii) Montebello Tire Pros (see Attachments “B,” “C,” and “D”) since each vendor offers superlative value to the City depending on the various service needs.
SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council award three (3) Professional Service Agreements, Nos. 3988-3990 (attached hereto in substantial form) , to (i) Ford of Montebello for $100,000 annually; (ii) Chevrolet of Montebello for $100,000 annually; and (iii) Montebello Tire Pros for $100,000 annually—each for a three-year (3-year) term with the option for renewal of up to two (2) additional one -year (1-year) terms, for a total not -to-exceed amount of $1 ,500,000 for the potential five- year (5-year) term with the City to establish an as-needed vendor bench for RFP No. 22 -4; authorize the City Manager and/or his designee to take action necessary to execute and finalize each agreement on behalf of the City; and direct staff to take such additional, and related, action that may be desirable.
