James Cole, co—owner CARQUEST Auto Parts, 780 15th Place, believed that NAPA had <br />been given ample opportunity to present its case, and that it was time to put this to rest and move <br />forward. <br />Administrator Baird explained that the County initially went through the RFP (Request <br />for Proposal) process anticipating a cost -savings for Fleet Management, but that idea has not <br />been validated by staff's analysis. <br />Addressing Chairman O'Bryan's question, Director Mora confirmed that there have been <br />no complaints about parts purchased through the current system. <br />Mike Owens, IRC Fleet Manager, responding to Commissioners' questions, elaborated <br />further on the parts purchasing phase of operations. <br />John Cirigliano, District Manager for NAPA brakes, explained that NAPA's prices <br />would stack up a lot differently if they had priced the parts for the economy or value line. <br />Mike Azor, NAPA Filtration Sales, advised that the composition of the NAPA and <br />CARQUEST filters was identical. <br />Mr. Tomberg attested to NAPA's ability to meet or beat the County's current parts <br />pricing, and believed his company could save the County money. Responding to Chairman <br />O'Bryan's question, he provided further information on NAPA's brake pad costs and quality. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 5-0 <br />vote, the Motion carried. The Board unanimously <br />approved retaining the current County -run Parts <br />Management and Supply Operation, as recommended in <br />the memorandum of February 23, 2010. <br />20 <br />March 2, 2010 <br />
