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 $90,000 to a new payment limit of $185,000, for Ford parts and accessories, with no change to the original term of January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

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. Fleet maintains blanket purchase orders with most of the Ford dealers in the County. Walnut Creek Ford has become the standard dealer to obtain parts, accessories, warranty and small repairs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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