RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Enterprise Fleet Services for leasing and
servicing of vehicles for a three-year period in an annual amount not
to exceed $124,618.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department leases vehicles for field assignments
for a variety of police personnel including the Personnel Department
background investigators, training personnel and Investigation
Department officers.
On September 3, 2002, the City Council awarded a contract to Enterprise
Fleet Services for a three-year period, with provision for one three-
year renewal. The vendor has agreed to renew the contract for 2006
vehicles at lease rates that are a minimum of five percent less than
the 2003 rates for the same models, a combination of Chevrolet Impala
and Malibu sedans.
Staff asked for a hybrid option for the new lease period. Current
available hybrids on the market include the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic
and Accord, and the SUV Ford Escape. According to the vendor, the 2006
Prius is not offered to commercial clients by Toyota and the Honda
Civic and Accord hybrids are not available in quantity orders. However,
the vendor did provide a quote for a comparable number of Ford SUV
Escape Hybrids at $178,388 annually. The lease rate quoted is 48%
higher than the Chevrolet Impala and 61% higher than the Chevrolet
Malibu sedans.

The sedan is more conducive to investigative work. Since there is no
hybrid option for leasing a sedan, and the only hybrid option provided
is substantially higher in cost, staff recommends the final renewal of
the contract to lease Chevrolet Impala and Malibu sedans.
