At pre-described intervals, vehicles and equipment <br />undergo a thorough evaluation including but not limited to, age, mileage, condition, <br />maintenance history, downtime, anticipated future repairs, usage and vehicle capabilities. <br /> <br />Eight of these nine vehicles are scheduled replacement vehicles for emergency sedans, <br />and one is additional emergency vehicle due to increased staffing within the Police <br />Department. <br /> <br />Currently, the eight replacement vehicles meet the City's fleet replacement criteria for <br />emergency vehicles. If the City Council approves this purchase, delivery of these new <br />emergency vehicles will take approximately 120-150 days. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Cooperative purchasing provisions under Redwood City Code Section 2.80 make it <br />possible for the City to benefit from larger volume purchases. Fleets using these <br />provisions realize significant savings from prevailing fleet prices. Therefore, the <br />alternative of independently advertising for bids for these vehicles would not be cost <br />effective. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funds for the purchase of the eight vehicles were approved and approp(!atedtwjh_e City <br />Council in the Fiscal Year 1999/00 Equipment Replacement Fund budgét I"n the amount <br />of $203. ,047,69. and the Police Department's budget in the amount of $~'30' <br /> <br /> <br />~ 3»-u ' 14- <br /> <br />Lar Barwacz (/ Peter Ingram Ed Everett <br />Public Works Superintendent Public Works rvices Director City Manager <br /> <br /> <br />--' '. --. f' <br />
