PROCESS, AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF FORD
MAVERICK VEHICLES FROM PENSKE FORD LA MESA,
AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS THEREFOR
WHEREAS, Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) section 2.56.070 contains the bidding
procedures and requirements for purchases of equipment exceeding $100,000; and
WHEREAS, CVMC section 2.56.070(B)(3) authorizes the City Council to waive the
competitive bidding requirements if determined that the competitive bidding requirements as
applied are impractical, impossible, or that the City interest would be materially better served by
applying a different purchasing procedure approved by the City's Purchasing Agent as being
consistent with good purchasing practices; and
WHEREAS, due to global supply chain limitations, the number and types of vehicles
available for purchase at any given time is scarce and unpredictable; and
WHEREAS, City departments depend on reliable vehicles and equipment to perform
desired services for the citizens of Chula Vista; and
WHEREAS, the new Ford Mavericks will be assigned to the Park Rangers program
(Community Services) and the Streets/Right of Way program (Public Works), the new vehicles
will replace vehicles that have reached the end of their service life; and
WHEREAS, Penske Ford La Mesa has 12 Ford Maverick XL vehicles available to
purchase and available for delivery at a total cost of $314,976; and
WHEREAS, staff has determined that City’s interest would be materially better served by
waiving the competitive bidding requirements for the proposed purchase to avoid delays
associated with direct factory orders or soliciting formal bids in order to timely replace vehicles
that are currently at or near the end of their service life, which will minimize disruptions to
operations and program delivery; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Purchasing Agent has determined that, given the limited
inventory and immediate need for replacement, the proposed purchase is consistent with good
purchasing practices; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that Council waive the competitive bid process as
impractical and approve the purchase of these vehicles; and
WHEREAS, there are sufficient funds in the Vehicle Replacement fund for the purchase
of these vehicles and the associated outfitting costs.
