This truck will be replacing Fleet #381, a 1988 Dodge pick-up truck, <br />used by this division. Funds in the amount of $30,000 are appropriated in the current year <br />budget (Account # 111-245-541-066-42) for this purchase. <br />Both the Sheriffs contract and the current state contract for trucks have expired and will not be <br />awarded until late October for the new year models. Due to current market demands and <br />manufacturer's 1999 balance out on trucks, dealers are unable to bid on a 1999 vehicle and in <br />addition the 2000 year model is not yet available for ordering. <br />Staff called all of the local and state contract vendors trying to locate a crew cab truck that <br />closely meets the division's specifications. Ed Morse Chevrolet Inc. of Lake Park, Florida was <br />the only dealer that has a 1999 crew cab available and is holding it for us pending board action. <br />The purchase price for the 1999 Crew Cab Fleetside pickup truck is $27,247.06 (Ref. Purchase <br />Order 88409). As a point of comparison, the expired state contract price for a truck with the <br />same specifications was $25,442.00 <br />Staff recommends that the Board waive the bidding requirements for the purchase of this truck <br />and authorize the release of purchase order 88409 to Ed Morse Chevrolet Inc of Lake Park, <br />Florida for one (1)1999 Crew Cab Fleetside pickup trick in the amount of $27,247.06 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously waived the bidding requirements for <br />the purchase of this truck and authorized the release <br />of purchase order 88409 to Ed Morse Chevrolet, Inc. <br />of Lake Park for one 1999 Crew Cab Fleetside <br />pickup truck in the amount of $27,247.06, as <br />recommended by staff. <br />JULY 209 1999 <br />-16 0 <br />- <br />
