RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 005000 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $107,880.00 from the Public Health's COVID-19 Response Unit (0450) to General Services - Fleet Operations (0064) for the purchase of two (2) Chevy Bolts and one (1) Ford Transit van to support services for Public Health's COVID-19 Response Unit.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases appropriations in the Fleet Internal Service Fund (0064) and reduces appropriations in Public Health's COVID-19 Response Unit (0450) by $107,880.00. Allocation adjustments through a T/C 24 will facilitate the fund transfer to the proper disbursement account. The purchase of these vehicles will be 100% funded by the California Department of Public Health’s Enhancing Lab Capacity grant.

BACKGROUND:

Additional capacity is required to sustain the services offered to consumers in the Public Health’s COVID-19 Response Unit. Vehicles are required as part of the COVID-19 Response Unit’s services to transport supplies and specimens between locations. The unit currently maintains rental vehicles for this, which is costly. Procuring three vehicles for the department would ensure ongoing transportation support for the Public Health emergency response projects. Public Health has received approval for the purchase, using grant funds, from the California Department of Public Health.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Vehicles are required to coordinate and provide COVID-19 testing. Without approval, Public Health would continue to rent vehicles and then potentially lose access to vehicles with reduced COVID-19 funding.
