ITEM TITLE Resolution - Waiving bid requirements for purchase of automobile
SUBMITTED BY Purchasing Agent
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
Informal bids were requested from three (3) automobile dealers for the purchase of
a new automobile for the Mayor. The 1972 Oldsmobile Sedan presently being used by
the Mayor was included in the bid proposal form as a trade-in.
The dealers submitted bids on vehicles on their lots to reduce their inventory. The
bid prices, including tax, varied ,from $5500.00 to $6600.00, depending on how the vehicle
was equipped. The highest bid received on trade-in allowance of the Oldsmobile Sedan
was $1275.00
It is recommended that, pursuant to Section 2.56.170 of the Municipol Code, Council
waive the bidding requirement and authorize the Purchasing Agent to negotiate the
purchase of the automobile for the following reasons:
1. The Oldsmobile Sedan may be sold on the open market for approximately $1700.00,
where if traded-in, the maximum allowed is $1275.00. Trade-in to this vendor
for that figure will require that we pick a vehicle from his lot.
2. Negotiation of the purchase will allow selection from the three vendors. It is
estimated that the purchase can be made for the one vehicle for$25-$250 above
dealer's cost. A copy of the invoice for verification will be a requirement.
