Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 06/16/20 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 20-0408
LOG NAME: 13P20-0098 REJECTION OF K-9 UNIT BIDS LSJ PMD
SUBJECT
Authorize the Rejection of All Responses to Bid No. 20-0098 for K-9 Units for the Fire Department Through the Property Management Department
(ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the rejection of all responses to Bid 20-0098 for the Fire Department through the Property
Management Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Purchasing Division received a sole response for three one ton K-9 unit trucks. Upon receiving the City's recommendation for award notice
the selected Vendor indicated that their company only provides the upfitting for the K-9 units and the purchase order would need to be issued to the
manufacturer. The City can only provide a purchase order to the Vendor that provided the quote or an authorized dealer. Purchasing staff
recommends rejecting the sole bid received for the K-9 Unit trucks because the bidder is unable to provide the unit offered.
Upon Council rejecting the sole bid, the Purchasing staff will restart the bidding process.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this recommendation will have no material effect on City funds.
