RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department, Children and Family Services, a purchase order with Downtown Ford Sales, of Sacramento in an amount not to exceed $270,000, to procure nine vehicles over the period April 15, 2016 through June 30, 2016. (10% County; 45% State; 45% Federal)
FISCAL IMPACT:
$270,000: 100% Administration Overhead (10% County; 45% State; 45% Federal)
BACKGROUND:
Access to available cars is a necessary function in Employment and Human Services Department, Children and Family Services, where compliance to the regulations of the Child Welfare System requires a variety of Social Worker interactions with children and families. Additional cars are being requested as there are safety and personal damage issues when Social Workers use their own personal cars for client transport; this can occur especially at initial intervention with families.
