RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contracts for the purchase of automotive batteries and non-stock
automotive batteries for a one-year period in the annual aggregate amount
not to exceed $25,000 with the following vendors:
Vendor:
Location:
Battery Systems, LLC
Powertron Battery Co.
Santa Ana
Santa Ana
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Maintenance Division of the Finance and Management Services
Agency is responsible for the service and repair of the City's fleet.
Periodically, batteries must be replaced. The contract will allow for
vehicle and motorcycle battery replacement for inventories and non-stock
automotive batteries on an as-needed basis.
On April 7, 2003, the City Council awarded contracts for a two-year period,
with provision for three one-year renewals. The Santa Ana vendors have
agreed to renew the contracts, however, the vendors have requested a 15
percent increase due to the higher cost of lead used in the manufacturing
of batteries. The recommended vendors have performed satisfactorily
during the past contract period. Staff recommends the second renewal of the
contracts.
