Agenda Report

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Police Department
SUBJECT: REJECT ALL BIDS DATED MAY 24, 2026, IN RESPONSE TO
SPECIFICATIONS FOR A CARGO VAN WITH UPFITTING
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find the proposed action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3); the "Common Sense" exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment; and
2. Reject all bids dated May 24, 2026, in response to the Invitation for Bids for a Cargo Van with upfitting.
BACKGROUND:
Following City Purchasing guidelines, a Notice Inviting Bids for furnishing and delivering a full-size cargo van with upfitting for the Crisis Negotiation Team of the Police Department was released on April 23, 2026. OpenGov.com was utilized and it remained open for 30 days. Following the 30-day bid posting, three proposals were submitted.
All three vendors submitted proposals that met the specified requirements. However, upon review, it was determined that the original bid invitation should be revised and scaled down to include only the equipment essential to mission completion, while substituting select items with equipment deemed operationally critical. Upon rejection of the subject bids, the Police Department will promptly issue a new bid solicitation.
COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Rejecting the bid supports the City Council's strategic goal to maintain fiscal responsibility.
