TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: V~~RANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: ' MAY 7, 1996
RE: AUTHORIZATION TO REJECT ALL BIDS- 1996 FORD CROWN VICTORIA
Unit # 2, a 1991 Chevrolet Caprice, was scheduled for replacement during the 1996-97 Budget
Year. The vehicle has 68,000 miles on the odometer and was purchased in July of 1990.
Unfortunately on Monday April 22, 1996 the vehicle developed serious mechanical problems.
The diagnosis was a loose connecting rod which requires replacement of the motor.
Staff sent bid specifications to the following dealers: Colley Ford, Prestige Ford, El Monte
Ford, Ed Butts Ford, and Downey Ford. The following bids were received:
$ 23,423.73
COLLEY FORD
$ 23,541.46
DOWNEY FORD
$ 23,946.78
ED BUTTS FORD
$ 27,144.90
EL MONTE FORD
Due to irregularities in the two lowest bids, staff is recommending rejection of all bids. Attached
are letters from the two low bidders and the bid specifications. In anticipation of the rejection
of all the current bids, staff has advertised for re-bid of this vehicle. Staff has taken these steps
because June 2, 1996 is the final date for ordering 1996 vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council reject all bids and authorize staff to solicit
new bids. -
