FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Long Beach BMW for the purchase of three police
equipped motorcycles in the amount of $67,679.49, and increase the
aggregate limit for miscellaneous parts and repairs in an amount not to
exceed $25,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
The Fleet Maintenance Division of the Finance and Management Services
Agency manages the annual Vehicle Replacement Program. Funding is
monitored through a depreciation schedule established with each department
or departmental funding is provided. Additionally, the Fleet Division
reviews the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and
Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Policy. Currently, hybrid vehicles
are not available in the motorcycle category.
The Police Department's Traffic Division uses specially equipped
motorcycles for traffic patrol. Motorcycles are under the Fleet
Maintenance Division replacement program with guidelines that require
motorcycles with over 50,000 miles to be replaced, as maintenance costs
increase dramatically at this milestone. The fleet of 34 motorcycles is
used by the 27 full time officers allocated to motors, with the remaining
used for training purposes, by partially-assigned officers, and for back
up when a motorcycle is in for repair.
On August 20, 2007, City Council awarded a contract to Long Beach BMW for
the purchase of four police equipped BMW motorcycles. The vendor has
offered to extend the same terms and conditions for three additional new
police equipped BMW motorcycles to replace three 2002 units with mileage
in excess of 70,000 miles per motorcycle.

Additionally, Long Beach BMW provides miscellaneous motorcycle parts and
repair. The purchase of three new motorcycles, when combined with previous
purchases by Fleet Services during the current fiscal year, exceeds the
$25,000 aggregate limit. In order to facilitate future purchases of parts,
staff recommends an increase to the aggregate limit.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the SAPD OTS-Traffic Offender Program account (no.
20-336-6641) at $67,679.49; and Equipment Maintenance Garage Operation
account (no. 75-111-6391) in the amount of $25,000.
