Rationale for Recommendation: The Department of Public Works, Fleet Management Division has completed extensive research to find an authorized Pierce and Skeeter service center to issue parts and complete repairs for the Fire Department Apparatus fleet within the City. Authorized service centers are trained by manufacturers to provide parts and repairs for the specific brand of vehicles or equipment. It is in the best interest of the City to receive repairs and service from an authorized service center as it is required for the manufacturer’s warranties to stay intact. Golden State Emergency Vehicle Service, Inc. is the only authorized Pierce dealer/service center in Northern California and the only authorized Skeeter dealer in California. Fleet Management recommends awarding the contract to Golden State Emergency Vehicle Service, Inc. for warranty work and due to the proximity to the City (if staff must visit the vendor as well as to save on transportation costs).
Financial Considerations: Sufficient funding exists in the Department of Public Works Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 operating budget (Fleet Fund, Fund 6501) to purchase Pierce and Skeeter parts and repairs through June 30, 2023. Purchases made after June 30, 2023, are subject to funding availability in the adopted budget of the applicable fiscal year.
