Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase Automotive Batteries for Fleet Management. The term of the proposed option contract would be two (2) years. Contract is through May 31, 2008. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on July 6, 2006.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06 (Solicitation No. SA002076 MEL) Thirty Six (MAJ:36, MBE:0, FBE:01) bids were solicited; Five (5) (MAJ:5) bids were received.

The Purchasing Office is recommending award of primary and secondary contracts to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidders:

Crown Batery Manufacturing Co. Inc., MAJ, CC#344481335 (Expires 9/1/07), $75,000.00
Taylor & Summerville Battery Co. Inc., MAJ, CC#621026052 (Expires 9/8/07), $25,000.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $100,000.00

These companies are not debarred according to the Federal Excluded Parties Listing or the State Auditor's Findings For Recovery Database.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Purchasing Contract Account. Fleet Management will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
