Summary: On June 10, 2021, the Purchasing Department sent out requests for quotes to three different Ford dealerships to purchase three (3) Ford F150 Super Cab Pickup 4X2 trucks. The due date was June 14, 2021. No quotes were received. The need to replace these vehicles ahead of the separate White Fleet Replacement procurement is due to an immediate need for replacement vehicles for this department. One vehicle is listed as “totaled” due to an engine failure and two additional trucks require repair that costs exceed the worth of the aged vehicles.

Due to the current inventory shortage in the vehicle manufacturing industry procuring vehicles without a extended lead time is almost impossible. Staff was able to identify (3) Ford F150 Vehicles at Downtown Ford Sales in Sacramento that closely matched our build sheets for our Security Trucks. The sale from another entity fell through leaving the fleet trucks available for immediate purchase.

Staff began the Purchase Order Process in order to secure these vehicles.
Funding: ESSER II/ESSER III
Fiscal Impact $155,680.26
Recommendation: Approve the ratification for purchase order to procure three (3) new Ford F150 Super Cab Pickup 4x2 trucks for the Security Department with Downtown Ford Sales.
