RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order amendment with Walnut Creek Ford, to increase the payment limit by $250,000, to a new payment limit of $410,000, and extend the termination date from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017 for Ford parts and accessories, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, then purchasing Ford parts and accessories through Walnut Creek Ford will discontinue.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Management is responsible for maintaining County vehicles. To do so, Fleet buys parts, accessories and warranty service from local auto dealers. As the fleet is mostly Ford vehicles, we buy a substantial amount from Ford dealers. As bid on BidSync #1112-004, four local Ford dealers were awarded this commodity, with Walnut Creek Ford being the primary. The original bid was for the duration of one (1) year with four (4) possible one (1) year extensions available. This request represents the fourth of the one year extensions.
