a y <br />, � <br /> COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM <br /> PURCHASING & INTERNAL SERVICES MEMORANDUM <br /> #08-60 <br />' October 15, 2008 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Carrigan and City Council , <br /> FROM: Ryan P. McCrady, Interim City Manager <br /> Ron Neufeld, Financial Management Director + <br /> Deborah M. Perry, Purchasing Supervisor� <br /> SUBJECT: Bids for mid-size vehicle <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends awarding contract to Smoky <br /> Jennings Chevrolet to furnish one (1) 2009 Chevrolet Impala mid size vehicle. <br /> BACKGROUND: This vehicle will be assigned to the Engineering Division. It was scheduled <br /> to be replaced in fiscal year 2005. It was held over due to low miles and will replace a 1997 <br /> Ford Taurus with 71,786 miles that is currently in service. A total cost analysis was performed <br /> on the bids received, and Smoky Jennings was the most responsive and responsible bidder. This <br /> was due to Chevrolet having a higher resale value resulting in a lower life cycle cost. The old <br /> vehicle will be sold at auction. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Engineering requested the vehicle. Fleet Maintenance <br /> wrote the specifications. Both recommend approval of bid. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard Marley, Director of Engineering and Infrastructure, 424-2747. <br /> Richard Borders, MSC Manager, 875-4820. Richard Marley will be at the council meeting to <br /> answer questions the council may have about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET: $20,620.68 from the Equipment Replacement fund. <br />
