BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Staff are requesting approval for purchase of vehicles for various departments.  These vehicles are a combination of replacement vehicles that are being retired from service, and new vehicles for department use to support new staff positions or new capital requests approved in the FY 25 Budget. Any replacement vehicles have either met or exceeded their useful life as determined by our fleet services division.

 

The City will utilize multiple vendors:  Bluebonnet Motors Ford with a City contract, Lake Country Chevrolet through a TIPS cooperative agreement, Cooper Equipment Company c/o Doggett Freightliner through a BuyBoard cooperative agreement, Ewald Kubota Inc. through a Sourcewell cooperative agreement and Siddons Martin Emergency Group through the HGAC cooperative, all of which have been competitively vetted.  The schedule below will provide detail to each purchase.
