RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order amendment with Lehr Auto Electric, to increase the payment limit by $150,000 to a new payment limit of $500,000 for emergency vehicle parts, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Fiscal Year 13/14 and 14/15 Fleet ISF and Sheriff Maintenance budgets. (100% Internal Service Fund – Fleet)

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Services purchases and outfits all emergency vehicles for the County. This includes vehicles from the Sheriff, Public Works, Animal Services, Probation, District Attorney and Health Services. The Sheriff's units take up the vast majority of this commodity. Outfitting includes lights, consoles, electrical switching, wiring, and other hard parts such as partitions, and console and truck slider trays. The annual cost for emergency vehicle accessories has been set to $116,000, but with the Sheriff changing vehicle types from the Ford Crown Victoria to the Ford Interceptor, we expect the annual cost to rise slightly. This commodity was originally bid on BidSync No. 1301-003 and awarded to Lehr Auto Electric. The purchase order is at $350,000 and we are asking to take it through the two-year term.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, the purchase of emergency vehicle parts from Lehr Auto Electric will discontinue.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
