6. Discussion and Background
City Council has previously authorized a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (CPA) using Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) and Sourcewell as the standard for vehicle and equipment procurement. This purchase is a continuation of that policy. A total of 29 vehicles and equipment are beyond their useful life and require replacement within Fiscal Year 2021-22. Staff has ordered five replacement vehicles previously approved by Council in August and October.
The City has secured bond funding and staff recommends the purchase of a new Pierce Tiller Arrow XT Fire Truck to be stationed at the new Fire Headquarters. The large top-mounted aerial ladder is responsible for functions like ventilation, rescue, and forcible entry. This procurement will be from Pierce Manufacturing and their local dealer South Coast Fire Equipment, through contract No. FS12-19 by HGAC.
The City has purchased fleet vehicles from South Coast Fire Equipment over the past five years and will receive a 2% discount ($26,556) off the net price of the truck using the HGAC contract. In addition, staff recommends an upfront payment for an additional savings of 2.93% ($38,929). These savings include purchasing a performance bond for $3,613 to secure the upfront payment; the combined savings is $65,484. Once ordered, the apparatus will take 17-19 months to build and equip with communications and other safety equipment, for a total not to exceed $480,000, using several lowest qualified vendors.
In 2020, Irv Seaver provided the lowest competitive bid for the 2021 BMW Police Pursuit Motorcycles. The vendor has agreed to honor a price continuation for two 2022 BMW R1250 RT-P motorcycles, identified with their recommended replacements as follows:

For the purchase of the two Ford Explorers and the Chevrolet Bolt for Orange Police and Public Works Departments, staff will utilize a nationally solicited, competitively bid, and awarded Sourcewell contract. National Auto Fleet was awarded contract No. 120716-NAF for Cars, Trucks, Vans, SUVs, and Other Vehicles, yielding pricing discounts from 1.0% to 25.86% across 15 manufacturers, depending on the model. The discount to the City averages 15% for the two Ford Explorers, and 8% for the Chevy Bolt, for a combined savings of $13,616.
