Newhouse, Director of Services DATE: May 31, 1990 STEVEN KUENY City Manager CHERYL J.KANE City Attorney PATRICK RICHARDS, A.I.C.P. Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE City Treasurer Community 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.
