Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing the procurement of fleet vehicles and equipment in the amount of $7,826,971.

 

Summary

 

DATE:                     October 4, 2022                     

 

TO:                     Kent Cagle, City Manager                     

 

FROM:                     Judith Tangalin, Interim Executive Director of Finance                     

 

SUBJECT:                     Procurement of Fleet Vehicles and Equipment                     

 

BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:

 

Funding for the acquisition of replacement vehicles and equipment was approved as part of the City’s FY 2023 budget process. The Fleet Services Division maintains an annual vehicle and equipment replacement schedule. The criteria used to establish this replacement schedule is based upon available funding, number of vehicles per category, age, mileage/hours, repair costs, and department/division feedback.

 

The annual fleet vehicles and equipment procurement budget for FY 2021 and FY 2022 was $5,239,955 and $5,980,534, respectively. The FY 2023 Budget includes $7,281,454 for fleet replacement and $614,712 for added fleet for a total of $7,896,166.

 

The added fleet budget includes four vehicles for the Animal Services Division to be used for the new Fort Hood Program ($334,212), three vehicles for the Police Department’s new Downtown Community Engagement Unit ($183,800), and two vehicles for the Water & Sewer Department’s new Water Quality Program ($96,700). This request includes 65 units of fleet approved to be purchased during the FY 2023 Budget process, including the nine added units. The 56 units of fleet that are being replaced have exceeded their useful life and have an average age of 11 years and average mileage of 100,000. The number of procurements per category is listed below:

THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

 

1.) Defer purchase of fleet vehicles and equipment, which could cause the departments to operate in a reduced resource capacity, incur increased maintenance costs, and lose any remaining residual value in the existing vehicles.

 

2.) Purchase the fleet vehicles and equipment in order to provide safe and effective services and achieve the least cost of ownership.

 

Which alternative is recommended? Why?

 

The second alternative is recommended to meet the departments’ mission and operate in the safest and most cost-effective manner.

 

CONFORMITY TO CITY POLICY:

 

The Fleet Department is seeking approval to purchase replacement vehicles and equipment for various departments through cooperative contracts and a sole source exemption. Purchases made through a cooperative contract and sole source exemption are exempt from the competitive bidding process as stated in Texas Local Government Code (TLGC) section 271.102, subchapter F and Texas Local Government Code (TLGC) section 252.022.

What is the amount of the expenditure in the current fiscal year? For future years?
