SUMMARY: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2020-2021 Budget includes fund to purchase Ford F150 truck this fiscal year.  This vehicle will be an addition to the District’s current fleet and will be primarily used for the weir (fish counting station) program within the Environmental Resources Division.

 

District is part of the Ford Fleet Program which provides incentives in price break.  Staff solicited bids from three different Ford vendors which are attached as Exhibit 3-A.  The vehicle provided in the proposals meets all specifications of the District.  The prices are summarized in the following table:

$33,220.75

$35,085.73

$35,972.75

 

RECOMMENDATION:  The Administrative Committee recommends that the Board authorize expenditure of funds to purchase Ford F150 truck from Cypress Coast Ford at a not-to-exceed price of $34,000, which includes contingencies for documentation and additional taxes if required by law. 

 

BACKGROUND:  The Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Budget includes $25,000 for the purchase of Ford F150 4x4 truck.  During mid-year budget process, additional funds will be allocated to cover the difference between the budgeted and the actual amount.  In order to make it accessible for field use, the vehicles must be equipped with four-wheel drive function.  This will be an addition to the District’s current fleet and will be primarily used for the weir (fish counting station) within the Environmental Resources Division.
