SUBJECT: Consider Authorizing Staff to Solicit Bids
from Multiple Dealerships for Pickup Truck
BACKGROUND:
Funds in the amount of $17, 325 have been approved in the FY
1989/90 budget for purchase of a compact pickup truck. The
truck, when purchased, will be designated for the Maintenance
& Operations Supervisor's use. The Maintenance & Operations
Supervisor's current vehicle will be transferred to the Park
Maintenance Worker, and the Park Maintenance Worker's vehicle
will be transferred to the Recreation Division for use to
maintain the ball fields at Peach Hill, North Meadows and
Campus Canyon Parks and used as a backup fleet vehicle when
needed elsewhere.
DISCUSSION:
Purchase of this vehicle has been put off pending a
discussion to purchase a small dump truck or similar vehicle.
With the recent hiring of a Public Works Director, staff has
worked out the vehicle issue and is proceeding with the
purchase of the pickup truck.
The pickup to be purchased would be a compact vehicle for
general use with a utility bed (storage boxes on each side of
truck bed for tools and supplies) . As time is of the
essence, our intent is to purchase off a dealership lot by
soliciting sealed bids from multiple dealers of all
manufacturers that meet the specifications rather than order
a new vehicle.
Specifications used to purchase the vehicle (see below) cover
general requirements as to the type of construction to which
the items must conform, together with certain details as to
finish, equipment and appliances with which the successful
799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864
bidder must conform. The use of specifications to cover
general requirements will allow all manufacturers to bid:
Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Jeep, Datsun, Nissan, Toyota, GMC,
Mitsubishi, Mazda and Isuzu.
