Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION RATIFYING AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS FOR THE EMERGENCY PURCHASE OF POLICE PURSUIT CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCKS On January 25, 2022, by Resolution No. 2022-01-25-0603, Council accepted funding from the Budget Act of 2021 for law enforcement use; and On November 6, 2023, the Police Department submitted a request to the City Manager for the purchase of an additional police pursuit rated truck for the Strategic Community Officer (SCO) section that would aid in the transportation of arrestee's belongings, clean-ups, and community engagement activities; and On May 29, 2024, the City Manager approved an Emergency Purchase Order (PO) to Future Chevrolet of Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $598,843.62, for the purchase of six police pursuit Chevrolet Silverado trucks for the Police Department; and On June 10, 2024, an Emergency PO was issued to Future Chevrolet of Sacramento, CA, for the six police pursuit Chevrolet Silverado trucks from Future Chevrolet due to the frequent cancellations of orders, recent supply chain issues, and long lead times on up-fitting; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council authorizes the appropriation of funds in the amount of $499,036.35 from the Fleet Internal Service Fund Balance to the operating Fleet Internal Service Fund, Equipment Acquisition Account.
The City Council approves findings pursuant to Stockton Municipal Code section 3.68.070 in support of an exception to the competitive bidding process for emergency procurement of police trucks:
The use of an Emergency Purchase Order procurement is appropriate for these procurements due to supply chain issues in ordering and receiving vehicles.
Public Works sought out multiple resources for the supply of vehicles. Only one source was available and turn-key-ready.
Other agencies were competing to secure the same vehicles, and any delay would have resulted in the City not being able to readily secure the needed vehicles.
The use of the Emergency Purchase Order procurement is appropriate for this purchase because it allows the City to be more competitive in acquiring equipment in current industry conditions as vendors struggle to honor quoted pricing through the duration of a traditional government low-bid procurement process.
The City Council approves findings and ratifies the City Manager’s approval to execute an Emergency Purchase Order to Future Chevrolet of Sacramento, CA, in the amount of $598,843.62, for the purchase of six police pursuit Chevrolet Silverado trucks for the Police Department, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by this reference.
The City Manager is hereby authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED March 18, 2025 .

Mayor of the City of Stockton
