Explanation:
The Department of Public Works Fleet Management Division, on behalf of the Police Department, desires to purchase 20 new vehicles to replace a portion of those vehicles that have reached or surpassed their life expectancy and road worthiness by age, mileage and wear, and can no longer be relied upon to perform at required operational levels.
The 20 new vehicles requested are 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Rated Utility Patrol Vehicles, flex-fueled vehicles capable of using E85 ethanol fuel, costing $38,706.00 each, a total of $774,120.00 and were approved in the FY 2019 Budget.
The requested vehicles were competitively bid through the Florida Sheriff’s Association pursuant to Bid Number FSA18-VEH26.0 for a term effective October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2019.
Award was made to Stingray Chevrolet as the lowest and best responsive bidders by specification, by manufacturer and by zone.
Stingray Chevrolet has agreed to provide the requested 20 new 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Rated Utility Patrol Vehicles in lieu of the 2019 models, which are no longer available, as listed in the Florida Sheriff’s Bid Number FSA18-VEH26.0, to the City under similar pricing, terms and conditions.
The City’s Purchasing Ordinance, Section 38.40(C)(5) allows the Director to procure, without following formal procedures, all goods and services which are subject of contracts with the state, its political subdivisions, the United States government, other governmental entities, or a corporation not for profit whose members are governmental entities, public officers, or any combination thereof, provided however, the goods and services are: (i) the subject of a price schedule negotiated by the state or the United States government, or (ii) the subject of a contract with another governmental entity or a corporation not for profit whose members are governmental entities, public officers, or any combination thereof, which contract is based strictly on competitive bids or competitive proposals and not on any preference.
The Director of Public Works and the Director of Procurement and Contract Compliance recommend that the City Commission approve and authorize the issuance of a Purchase Order to Stingray Chevrolet for 20, 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Rated Utility Patrol Vehicles for the Police Department, in the amount of $774,120.00.
