RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Public Works Director, a blanket purchase order with EAN Services, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, for car and light truck rentals, for the period May 10, 2022 through April 30, 2025, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Public Works Fleet Internal Service Fund budget and user departments.

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet Services is responsible for countywide vehicle rentals. There are various reasons for requiring vehicle rentals. Departments request rental vehicles to temporarily replace vehicles with serious problems or damage, as well as to meet various department business needs.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In 2020 and 2021, COVID-19 social distancing safety protocols significantly increased the need for temporary (i.e., rental) vehicles. Although the demand for car rentals has decreased this year, the demand has not decreased to pre-pandemic levels. This purchase order is utilized by several departments and is needed to ensure the County has access to the contractor's services through the term of the purchase order.

This purchase order will be for $1,000,000 for three years and will be used as needed, with no minimum amount that must be used.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this agreement is not approved, renting cars and light trucks through EAN Services, LLC will be discontinued.
