SUMMARY: In response to a Call for Bids, the District has received three bids for a ¾-ton, four-wheel drive, diesel pickup. The bids are summarized in the following table:
|
Budgeted Amount |
Salinas Valley Truck Center (2005 Ford F-250) |
Cypress Coast Ford (2005 Ford F-250) |
Love Motors (2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500) |
|
$32,000.00 |
$31,982.66 |
$32,229.00 |
$34,777.62 |
As the table indicates, Salinas Valley Truck Center was the low bidder. District staff has reviewed the low bid and determined that it meets all specifications contained in the Call for Bids. The low bid is slightly less the budgeted amount of $32,000. A minimal additional expenditure will be required to transfer the two-way radio from the replaced vehicle.
RECOMMENDATION: District staff recommends that the Board authorize expenditure of budgeted funds to purchase one ¾-ton, four-wheel drive, diesel pickup from Salinas Valley Truck Center at a total cost of approximately $31,983. The Administrative Committee reviewed this item on October 6, 2004 and voted __ to __ to recommend ____________.
BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2004-2005 Budget includes $32,000 for the purchase of a ¾-ton, four-wheel drive, diesel pickup for the Water Resources Division. During a recent routine service, it was discovered that the vehicle to be replaced requires various repairs at an estimated cost of $3,600. Since that amount equals or exceeds the value of the vehicle, it was decided to issue a Call for Bids for a replacement at this time. The Call for Bids was mailed to ten dealerships in the area and a bid notice was also published twice in the Monterey County Herald.
