DISCUSSION
The Facilities, Fleet Management and Central Stores Division of the Finance and Management
Services Agency is responsible for the repair and maintenance of City vehicles. Worn tires must
be replaced regularly to ensure safety and efficiency. The various City vehicles utilize a wide
variety of tires selected to best suit each vehicle demands and meet the manufactures'
recommended brand and size. The contracts provide tires for all vehicles within the fleet for
maximize safety and fuel efficiency.
On June 6, 2011, the City Council awarded three tire contracts to Santa Ana vendors for a one-
year period, with provisions for two one-year renewals. The vendors have performed satisfactorily
during the past contract period. However, the tire market has been significantly impacted by a
worldwide shortage of raw rubber material and escalating costs for steel and petroleum based
products, resulting in a five to 20 percent increase in costs for the range of tires the City requires.
The City holds the option to select different sizes and brands of tires per vehicle to minimize
climbing cost. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
