TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Police Department
SUBJECT: REJECT ALL BIDS IN RESPONSE TO SPECIFICATIONS FOR
UNMARKED DETECTIVE FLEET LEASE SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed action herein is not a "project" subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065 and within the meaning of Section 15378(b); and
2. Reject all bids received by January 12, 2026, in response to the Invitation for Bids for Unmarked Detective Fleet Lease Services.
BACKGROUND:
Following City Purchasing guidelines, a Notice Inviting Bids for providing unmarked detective fleet lease services was released on November 25, 2025, using OpenGov.com and remained open for 48 days. Following the 48-day bid posting, six proposals were submitted.
Three vendors submitted proposals that met the specified requirements, hiowever, upon review, it was determined that the original bid invitation needs to be revised to include lease term and outfitting requirements. Upon rejection of the subject bids, the Police Department will promptly issue a new bid solicitation.
COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Rejecting all bids supports the City Council's strategic goal to maintain fiscal responsibility.
MEETING OF.2/23/2026AGENDA ITEM NO..1
Rejection of Bids
February 23, 2026
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
CEQA excludes, from environmental review, actions that are not "projects" as defined by Public Resource Code Section 21065 and within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b). Sections 21065 and 15378(b) define a project as an action which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Section 15378 excludes from the definition of "project" continuing administrative or maintenance activities, such as purchases for supplies and services. The action proposed herein, authorizing the City Manager to reject all bids, is an administrative activity, and therefore is not a "project" as defined by CEQA. Since the action is not a project subject to CEQA, no environmental document is required.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact as a result of this action, and it will not have any indirect or support cost requirements.
