Staff conducted market research to identify replacement vehicles that would achieve these <br />goals. This purchase will allow the City to replace end-of-life equipment with comparable hybrid <br />alternatives where possible, supporting the City’s initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. <br />On January 31, 2025, staff issued a Notice Inviting Bids (NIB), published on the City’s website and in the <br />San Mateo Daily Journal. Staff also notified four prospective bidders of the NIB, and one bid was received <br />by the February 18, 2025 bid submission deadline.
