CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Motion to reject all bids submitted in response to Bid No. F-01-48 for various vehicles; and to direct
the Purchasing Manager to re-advertise for bids for these vehicles.
BACKGROUND
Notices inviting bids for sixty (60) various vehicles as part of the annual vehicle replacement program
to be utilized by various City departments, F-01-48, were mailed to fifty-nine (59) local and area
vendors, the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce, and advertised in The San Bernardino Sun
and on the City's Web Page.
Of the 60 vehicles specified in the RFQ, 36 were Ford Crown Victorias. However, no bids were
received from any Ford Dealers. Upon investigation, the purchasing manager determined that the
local Ford Dealer, Fairview Ford, had been inadvertently left off of the list of vendors to whom
notices inviting bids were sent.
Municipal Code section 3.04.070E states that << At its discretion, the Mayor and Common Council
shall have the power to reject any and all bids presented and re-advertise for bids". Staff is therefore
requesting authorization to reject all bids submitted under Bid No. F-01-48, and to authorize the
Purchasing Manager to re-advertise for bids for these vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the motion.
