BACKGROUND At the February 12, 2013, regular City Council meeting, the Council approved the purchase of two 3/4 ion utility trucks from Reynolds Buick in an amount not to exceed $46,673.80 for both vehicles. A purchase order was issued to Reynolds Buick, Inc. upon award, and Reynolds accepted the order and placed it in their production schedule. After two months of requested updates, staff learned that the order had actually been cancelled in the vendor's production system and could no longer be filled due to production due dates. Reynolds has asked to remove their bid from consideration. APPROWED The City's "In Support of Santa Clarita Businesses" ordinance allows local vendors who are within 10% to match the lowest price. If Council approves the withdrawal of the Reynolds Buick bid, the next lowest bidder is Thorson Buick GMC. Parkway Motorcars whose bid is within the 10% threshold, has agreed to match their bid of $55,784.63. Company Location 3/4 Ton Truck Reynolds; Buick, Inc.
