Explanation:
The Public Works Department requires an agreement(s) with qualified auto body repair shop(s) to provide continued auto body repair services to the City for its police and general fleet vehicles.
The Public Works Department desires to obtain auto body repair services from Caffi Brothers Body Shop, which has been a trusted vendor for the City for over twenty years and has always offered the best prices with a high quality of service that has allowed the Public Works Department to keep the City’s police and general vehicles operating as efficiently and effectively as possible. They also provide added services most auto body shops do not offer such as replacement of windows and windshields, calibration of sensors for impact safety equipment, and window controls. This will be a huge savings for the Public Works Department, in both time and money, by not having to go to multiple vendors for different repair needs.
Public Works anticipates establishing a more long-term agreement using more vendors throughout the City within the next year and has determined that it is in the best interest of the City to obtain auto body repairs from Caffi Brothers Body Shop.
The Director of Public Works recommends that the City Commission approve and authorize the execution of a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Caffi Brothers Body Shop for auto body repairs in an annual amount of up to $200,000.00.
Fiscal Impact:
A portion of the funding for this blanket purchase agreement is available in the Fiscal Year 2024 Operating Budget in account number 557.510101.51900.546320.000000.000.000, and additional funding will be allocated as detailed in Exhibits 1 and 2 subject to the approval of this Resolution. The balance of the funding required will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years’ operating budgets subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
