RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award contracts for vehicle body repair for a six month period for an aggregate amount not to

Vendor Location
Doffo Automotive Inc. Santa Ana
Kelly's Body Shop Santa Ana
Top Finish Collision Center Inc. Santa Ana
DISCUSSION
The Finance and Management Services Agency Facilities, Fleet Maintenance and Central Stores
Division (FMCS) is responsible for the maintenance of 753 vehicles, including police patrol
sedans. FMCS performs all maintenance work except accident repairs, body work, transmission
jobs, and wheel alignments which are contracted out to minimize interruption of service.
Contracting out the above work is a highly labor-intensive process that requires the involvement
of Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Fleet Services, Accounting, and Risk Management staff.
Moreover, the outside work is in many cases accident-related. Given these circumstances, and
in response to the reduced staffing levels in the aforementioned agencies, FMCS is evaluating
the possibility of engaging the services of an accident management collision company. Services
would include documenting incidents, collection and review of repair estimates, monitoring repair
progress, and handling of billing and collections. Also included would be non-accident related
outside work as referenced above.
At this juncture, the 2007 agreements and renewal options for the current vehicle body repair
contractors have expired. Staff is requesting Council to approve a 6-month contract with the
current vendors to continue service while the Accident Management program proposal is
evaluated.
