RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order amendment with Future Ford to increase the payment limit by $40,000 to a new payment limit of $120,000 and extend the termination date from January 31, 2015 to January 31, 2016, for vehicle parts and accessories, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This cost is to be funded through the Public Works Fleet ISF budget. (100% Internal Service Fund - Fleet)
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Fleet Services is responsible for maintaining County vehicles. To do so, Fleet Services buys parts, accessories and warranty service from local automotive dealers. Because the County's fleet is comprised of mostly Ford vehicles, Fleet purchases a substantial amount of items from Ford dealers. As bid on BidSync No. 1112-004, four local Ford dealers were awarded this commodity, with Walnut Creek Ford being the primary vendor and Future Ford the secondary one. The original bid was for a period of one year with four possible one-year extensions. This request is for the third of the four possible one-year extensions with Future Ford.
