City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

02/20/2024

BACKGROUND

Within each fiscal budget year, the Fleet Department requests to purchase vehicles/equipment to add to or replace aging vehicles to maintain a good working fleet of City-owned vehicles/equipment for the 2023-2024 budget year and in accordance with the Vehicle Replacement Plan previously approved by City Council. The request is to authorize the purchase of a Ford Super Duty F250 for use by the Fire Department. The cost to purchase the vehicle from Rockdale Country Ford is $59,000. The purchase is being made from a buyboard vendor, but the Fleet Department did seek pricing from multiple vendors so as to purchase it at the lowest price.

GOAL

To authorize the City Manager to execute the purchase order for the purchase of a Ford Super Duty F250 for use by the Fire Department as listed in the Vehicle/Equipment Acquisition/Replacement program.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Having a current and operational Fleet will provide all departments with the necessary vehicles and equipment to perform their assigned duties within the City of Schertz and reduce the maintenance cost of an aging fleet.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Approval of this resolution to allow the purchase of the Ford Super Duty F250 for the Fire Department.

FISCAL IMPACT

The purchase of the vehicle and equipment will be funded through the city’s general fund. The cost to purchase the vehicle is $59,000.00. The funds for the purchase were approved in the FY 2023-2024 budget.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends approval of Resolution 24-R-20.
