6.1.A. - Page 2 <br /> Name of Bidder Unit Cost per Total for all Six <br /> Vehicle Vehicles <br /> Towne Ford <br /> (Redwood City, CA) $30,474.25 $182,845.50 <br /> Serramonte Ford <br /> (Colma, CA) $28,373.19 $170,239.14 <br /> Hansel Ford No Bid Received No Bid Received <br /> (Santa Rosa, CA) <br /> Recommended Bidder: Towne Ford <br /> Substantiation: Towne Ford was the only bidder to submit a valid bid, as Serramonte <br /> Ford submitted a bid with a prior model year (2015) that is not a "current production <br /> model" as specified in the bid specifications. <br /> The recommended action is to award the bid to Towne Ford because they were the only <br /> dealership whose proposal included vehicles of a "current production model", as <br /> specified in the bid specifications. Additionally, through previous transactions, the Fleet <br /> Section of the Public Works Services Department has found Towne Ford to be a very <br /> responsive and responsible bidder. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> The vehicles scheduled for replacement have already exceeded their useful lifecycle <br /> and it would not be economically viable to invest in the continued use and repair of <br /> these vehicles if they were to experience a major breakdown due to their age and <br /> condition. Not approving the purchase of these vehicles would negatively impact the <br /> operations of the Police Department since the vehicles are intended to be used on a <br /> daily basis. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Funds in the amount of $182,845.50 are available in the FY 2015-16 Equipment <br /> Replacement Fund Budget for the purchase of these vehicles. This amount will be <br /> subsequently recovered from the operating budget of the user department through <br /> vehicle replacement charges in future years. <br />
