FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Wondries Fleet Group, under the Cooperative Purchase Provision of the
County of Los Angeles, for the purchase of 25 police patrol sedans in the amount of
$679,253.75.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department operates a fleet of 111 Ford Crown Victoria Police sedans of which 88
are dedicated to Police patrol. Replacements are typically based on mileage and performance.
During the past fiscal year, the City opted not to replace any vehicles and extend the life of the
patrol vehicles with a more aggressive maintenance program. However, some police vehicles
now exceed 100,000 miles and maintenance costs have increased with the vehicles operating a
minimum of 8-12 hours per day, as well as double shifts. It is recommended that to cap
escalating repair costs that 25 patrol vehicles purchased prior to 2004, be replaced in fiscal year
2010-2011.
Santa Ana Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any
public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The City of Los Angeles' contract with
Wondries Fleet Group for police patrol sedans was awarded as a result of open, competitive
bidding, and meets the City's requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Equipment Replacement Machinery & Equipment account (07510101-
66400).
