CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subject:
Resolution authorizing the execution of an agreement and issuance of a purchase order
to Redlands Auto Center pursuant to Section 3.04.010 B-3 of the Municipal Code for the
purchase of one right hand drive Jeep Wrangler to be utilized by the Facilities
Department Parking Control Division.
Background:
The Facilities Department currently utilizes four RHD Jeep Wranglers and two compact
pick-up trucks throughout the City for parking control. Staffing levels are now at five full-
time and three part-time employees so vehicle availability Monday through Friday has
become an issue. As part of the FY 07/08 budget process, Facilities staff requested
and received approval to add one additional Jeep to the fleet. The Jeep Wranglers
have proven to be more versatile and cost effective for the operation. At this time there
are no Alternative fuel or Hybrid vehicles available with right hand drive. Fleet staff
contacted 3 Jeep-Chrysler dealers from the surrounding area over a 2 month period and
one complete quote was received as follows, see Exhibit 1 :
Vendor
Redlands Auto Center
Shaver Auto Center
Jeep-Chrysler of Ontario

The total cost includes one Right Hand Drive Jeep Wrangler, to include a new right side
half door with zipper window. Total cost of this purchase is $26,329.94 including tax.
Financial Impact:
Funds for this purchase are available in the FY2007/2008 Account No. 635-341-5701,
