RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with Parts Warehouse Distributors, Inc. (dba City Auto Supply) in an amount not to exceed $275,000, for Motorcraft and AC Delco batteries and electrical parts, for the period of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2017, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Fleet Services Internal Service Fund budget. (100% Internal Service Fund - Fleet)

BACKGROUND:

In July 2011, the former General Services Department conducted a BidSync bid soliciting a vendor for Motorcraft batteries, AC Delco batteries and electrical parts. Because the County’s fleet is comprised mostly of Ford and General Motors vehicles, the need for factory parts is high. Motorcraft is the factory parts brand for Ford Motor Company and AC Delco is the factory brand for General Motors Company. As bid on Bidsync No. 1109-008, Parts Warehouse Distributors, Inc. d/b/a City Auto Supply was awarded a purchase order for Motorcraft and AC Delco batteries and electrical parts. This request represents the second and third of three possible one-year extensions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order is not approved, Motorcraft and AC Delco batteries and electrical parts supplied by Parts Warehouse Distributors, Inc. d/b/a City Auto Supply will not proceed.
