RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order amendment with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to increase the payment limit by $100,000 to a new payment limit of $188,000 for car and light truck rentals, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost (maximum of $188,000) is funded through the Public Works Fleet ISF budget. (100% Internal Service Fund – Fleet)

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Maintenance is responsible for vehicle rentals. There are various reasons for requiring vehicle rentals. Most recently, the Library has required several bobtail type box trucks for long periods of time. The District Attorney hired several new investigators and needed vehicles for them while cars were on order through Fleet. Elections needed a large number of rental units for the November election this year. All in all, we are now renting more vehicles than in previous years. Our estimated annual usage has increased. We are asking to increase the purchase order to cover the needs of the upcoming year.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, renting automobiles and light trucks through Enterprise Rent-A-Car will discontinue.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
