EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Purchasing Division of Finance received a request from the Police Department to increase compensation to Blanket Purchase Order Number 174020 in the amount of $200,000 for large vehicle towing, storage, and disposal services for the City of Santa Rosa.
GOAL
This item relates to Council Goal #1 - Achieve and Maintain Budgeting Excellence and Fiscal Stability and provides the needed services to continue to maintain removal of unwanted vehicles on the streets of Santa Rosa at the awarded rate.
BACKGROUND/PRIOR COUNCIL REVIEW
The Police Department has an ongoing need for large vehicle towing, storage, and disposal services. There are oversized recreational vehicles lining the streets of Santa Rosa that have expired registrations and, as defined in 400(a)(1) of the state vehicle code, must be removed, stored and properly disposed of. Many of these vehicles are being used for encampments and are creating an unsafe environment.
On January 9, 2025, Request For Quote (RFQ) 25-04 was solicited by Purchasing staff for large vehicle towing, storage, and disposal for the Police Department.
On February 19, 2025, City Manager, by signature, approved bid award RFQ 25-04 and issuance of Blanket purchase Order Number 174020 in the amount of $95,000.
ANALYSIS
The Police Department requested to increase compensation in the amount of $200,000 for ongoing services through the end of the contract term, which is March 19, 2027.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of this action does not have a fiscal impact on the General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, the proposed action is not a “project” subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not have a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. In the alternative, the proposed action is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment.
