AGENDA HEADING:
Approving increase in purchase authority for
transmission repair services and vehicle towing.
SYNOPSIS:
Recommend
Council approval to increase the purchase authority for transmission repair
services and vehicle towing services for Fleet Services. The original annual contract purchase
authority of $30,000 each for vehicle transmission repair services and towing
of City vehicles with Premier Auto Solutions dba AAMCO Transmissions, 3416
SE14th Street, Des Moines, IA 50315, Paul Wilken, Chief Executive Officer, and Crow
Automotive Services dba Crow Tow, 826 SE 21st Street Des Moines, IA
50316, Randy Crow, Owner and President, respectively have been exhausted. Staff recommends an increase for each contract
of $10,000 to continue services through the remainder of the fiscal year.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Amount: $20,000
Funding
Source: $20,000 CMO010401,
Fleet Services Maintenance, FY09 Operating Budget, page 85.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Each June, prior to the initiation of a new fiscal
year, staff estimates and requests approval for appropriate funding of existing
service contracts. These two service contracts were originally approved for
$30,000 each based on historic use. Due to increased usage, the anticipated
costs have exceeded projections made last year. An increase in purchase
authority is necessary to continue uninterrupted service to the City’s vehicle
fleet.
