RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order amendment with Lehr Auto Electric Inc., to increase the payment limit by $200,000 to a new payment limit of $700,000 and extend the termination date from January 31, 2016 to January 31, 2017 for emergency services vehicle parts and accessories, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Fleet Services Internal Service Fund budget.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Services purchases and outfits all emergency services vehicles for the County. This includes vehicles from the Sheriff, Public Works, Animal Services, Probation, District Attorney and Health Services. The Sheriff’s vehicles take up the vast majority of this commodity. Outfitting includes lights, consoles, electrical switching, wiring, and other hard parts such as partitions, consoles and trunk slider trays. The annual cost for emergency services vehicle accessories has been $116,000 per year; however due to the discontinuation of the Ford Crown Victoria, we expect the annual cost to rise. This commodity was originally bid on Bidsync #1301-003 and awarded to Lehr Auto Electric Inc. The purchase order is at $500,000. We are asking for additional funds to take it through its five-year term.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this purchase order amendment is not approved, the purchase of emergency services vehicle parts and accessories through Lehr Auto Inc. will discontinue.
