6.1.D. - Page 1 <br />REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br />October 22, 2018 <br />SUBJECT <br />Purchase of a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Pick-up Truck from Stewart Chevrolet <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve the purchase of a Chevrolet Silverado 350OHD Crew Cab pick-up <br />truck from Stewart Chevrolet. <br />BACKGROUND <br />In 2005, the Public Works Services Department (PWS) purchased a Ford Excursion on <br />behalf of the City's Police Department. This vehicle has been used as the primary mode <br />of transportation for the department's Police Boat, driving under the influence (DUI) <br />trailers, and other trailered equipment. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The 2005 Ford Excursion has served the Police Department beyond its useful life and is <br />now in need of replacement. Because the Excursion is no longer an option for <br />purchase, staff has conducted thorough analysis on comparable options for <br />replacement. Between comparisons of many different pick-up truck makes and models, <br />it was determined that the best fit for the City's Police Department would be the <br />Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD pick-up truck. <br />The fleet division solicited bids for a new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 350OHD. The <br />following three bids were received: <br />• Stewart Chevrolet (Colma, CA) $54,104.70 <br />• My Chevrolet (Salinas, CA) $56,816.54 <br />• Kuni Chevrolet (Sacramento, CA) $66,230.43 <br />Stewart Chevrolet is the lowest bidder and therefor, staff is recommending the purchase <br />of the new Silverado 350OHD from Stewart Chevrolet in Colma, California. Furthermore, <br />staff has previously purchased a vehicle (2019 Chevrolet Suburban for Fire <br />Department) from Stewart Chevrolet in this fiscal year. This additional purchase from <br />Stewart Chevrolet would exceed the City Manager's signing authority of $60K <br />
