Board of Commissioners
Agenda Request
To: Board of Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
From: Frank Gifford, Central Services Director
Agenda Date: November 3, 2014
Subject: Pickup trucks, Bid Opening
Statement of Issue:
Opening of bids for the supply of pickup trucks as needed from time to time over five
years by various County departments.
Analysis /Strategic Goals /Pros &t Cons:
A request for bids for a five -year contract for all fullsize pickup trucks was issued, and
bids are due to be opened today.
Fiscal Impact /Cost Benefit Analysis:
It is desirable to put in place a long -term contract controlled by the County to
facilitate the standardization described above and to ensure our long -term
contractual ability to purchase propane - powered pickup trucks if, following receipt of
bids and subsequent analysis, powering such vehicles with propane instead of or in
addition to gasoline is judged to be advantageous to the County.
Recommendation:
Direct the opening of bids and that Fleet Services evaluate bids and return at a later
date with a recommendation of award.
