Ruben Barrera.
SUBJECT: BID AWARD FOR AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT - CODE ENFORCEMENT
DEPARTMENT: Building and Engineering Services
At the regular City Council meeting on June 25, 1996, the Council approved line item number
01-5205-405 of the 1996-97 annual budget which approved the expenditure of $30,000 for
"Automotive Equipment" in the Code Enforcement Section of the Building and Engineering
Services Department. This item was approved as part of a decision package allowing for the
addition of a Senior Code Enforcement Officer position.
Staff is requesting the purchase of a four-wheel drive compact pickup truck. The four-wheel
drive feature is proposed due to the need to perform inspections for illegal dumping,
substandard conditions, and other related issues within rough terrain. This feature will also
be necessary to perform inspections for illicit discharges within riverbeds, a task that Code
Enforcement staff is scheduled to soon absorb from the Stormwater Utility Section.
In September, Code Enforcement staff requested sealed bids for a four-wheel drive compact
pickup truck. The request was advertised three times in local newspapers and distributed to
the Valencia Industrial Association, SCV Chamber of Commerce, and the firm BIDNET. The
City received a total of six responses from both GMG and Ford truck dealerships. The following
sealed bids were opened on October 24, 1996:
