SUMMARY: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-2018 Budget includes fund
to purchase Ford F150 4x4 crew cab truck as a pooled vehicle this fiscal
year. With the hiring of additional
field staffs, District is currently short on pooled vehicles that can be used
in the field. This vehicle will be an addition to the District’s existing
pooled vehicles and will be accessible for use to all divisions.
District is part of the Ford Fleet Program, which
provides incentives in price break. Staff
solicited bids from two different Ford vendors which are attached as Exhibit
6-A. The vehicle provided in the proposals meets
all specifications of the District. The
prices are summarized in the following table:

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the
Board authorize expenditure of funds to purchase Ford 150 4x4 crew cab truck
from Salinas Valley Ford at a not-to-exceed price of $31,000.00. The Administrative Committee considered this
item on December 5, 2017 and voted 3 to 0 recommend approval.
BACKGROUND:
The Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Budget includes $35,000 for the purchase of Ford
F150 4x4 crew cab truck. In order to
make it accessible for field use, the vehicles have to be equipped with 4wheel
drive function. In addition, the crew cab functionality will enable the vehicle
to be used for carrying group of people in fields. This will be a pool vehicle
and will be accessible for use to all divisions of the District.
