Since Central Receiving is located at the Field Services Facility, the majority of shipments
must be delivered, requiring access to a City vehicle capable of holding large items. Also,
per City Council request, this vehicle is equipped with removable seating for transportation of
City personnel as needed.
The Parks and Recreation Department also requested and received approval in the 92/93
budget for the purchase of (1) 1 -ton truck and (1) 3/4 -ton truck to be utilized by existing
personnel. With a total amount budgeted of $58,700.00, a request for sealed bids was
advertised December 9th, 13th, and 16th in the'Daily News and the Newhall Signal, and a
copy was submitted to the Santa Clarita Chamber of Commerce for member notification. The
following bids were received on January 7, 1993:

*Does not include pricing for the multi -passenger vehicle which costs an average of $19,000
plus tax (based on pricing submitted by the other two bidders). Addition of this item for
comparison would increase Scott Irwin's bid to appr. $56,000.00.
A bid package was hand delivered to Magic Ford in Santa Clarita by the City Manager to
ensure receipt of the specifications. The City Manager and General Services Manager met
with Magic Ford after the bids were received to better understand why no bid was submitted.
Magic Ford indicated that they felt they could not be competitive and therefore; declined to
bid.
Staff has reviewed the responses and recommends award of GS -92-93-13 to Fuller Ford as
the lowest, most -qualified bidder.
