RE
SOLUTION 1) AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO
ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
ENTERPRISE MOBILITY TO PROVIDE RENTAL CAR SERVICES
OVER A FIVE -YEAR TERM FROM FEBRUARY 1, 2025 TO JANUARY 31, 2030, FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000); AND 2) WAIVING THE
COMPETITIVE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL/QUALIFICATIONS
(RFP/Q) AND THE LOCAL/SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
WHEREAS, the Oakland Police Department (OPD) currently utilizes the services of Enterprise Mobility for car rental services; and
WHEREAS, OPD uses rental cars for plainclothes operations crucial for identifying, detecting and enforcing illegal criminal activity and, infiltrating criminal street gangs, groups and organizations; and
WHEREAS, rental vehicles are a critical and essential tool for day-to-day operations; and WHEREAS, the OPD has determined that rental cars are a necessary component of the Ceasefire strategy; and
WHEREAS, the contract will be for a five -year term from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030 in the amount of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) each year, for a total not- to-exceed amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) over five years; and WHEREAS, funding for this contract is available in the General Purpose fund (1010), Org (101110), Account (53214), and Project (1000008) for $100,000 and Measure NN (2255), Org (101110), Account (53214), Project (1000008) for $700,000 for years one to five for a total of $4,000,000; and
WHEREAS, awarding this contract will help the OPD deter crime, as those involved in criminal activity are less likely to commit crimes in the presence of marked police vehicles, thus significantly thwarting investigative efforts to gather criminal intelligence and evidence needed to arrest and prosecute persons suspected of participating in criminal activity; and WHEREAS, Section 2.04.051(B) of the Oakland Municipal Code (OMC) authorizes the City Council to waive the competitive RFP/Q selection requirements of OMC section 2.04.051(A) upon a finding that it is in the best interests of the City to do so; and WHEREAS, the City Council may waive the City’s Local/Small Local Business Enterprise Program (L/SLBE) requirements pursuant to Part I of Oakland’s L/SLBE Program guidelines (Ordinance No. 13647 C.M.S.); and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City to waive the L/SLBE and RFP/Q requirements because Enterprise Mobility is located in Oakland, OPD has a longstanding relationship with the company and delay in renting cars used for crucial plainclothes operations is not a reasonable option; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED: That the City Administrator is hereby authorized to enter into a contract with Enterprise Mobility to provide rental car services for a five-year term from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030 for an amount not-to-exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) and is further authorized to amend the contract, including extending the term, without increasing the amount of the contract, without returning to Council; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED: That for the reasons stated herein and in the report that accompanies this Resolution, the City Council hereby finds and determines that it is in the best interests of the City to waive the L/SLBE and RFP/Q requirements, pursuant to OMC section
2.04.051(B) and Part I of Oakland’s Local and Small Local Business Enterprise Program guidelines adopted by Ordinance No. 13647 C.M.S.
