SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes acceptance of a contract with Kent Powersports to provide the San Antonio Police Department with 11 police motorcycles for a total cost of $263,659.00. Funding is available from the Equipment Renewal and Replacement Fund (ERRF).

Submitted for City Council consideration and action is the attached tabulation of two bids submitted by Kent Powersports and Marineland of Waco, Inc., to provide 11 Police motorcycles. The low responsive bid was submitted by Kent Powersports for a total cost of $263,659.00.

Based on thorough research and knowledge of the industry, the Building and Equipment Services Department, Fleet Acquisitions Division could not identify any viable alternative fueled equipment that would be available to meet the current requirements.
Vehicles and equipment that meet their expected life cycle are usually sold at auction but are sometimes traded in to the selling dealer. If the fleet asset is in the ERRF then the proceeds are returned to the fund. The proceeds are then used to purchase new similar vehicles and equipment for the same department that operated the sold fleet asset.
The ERRF charges a monthly lease rate to each respective department/fund the entire time a department/fund has possession of a vehicle or equipment. When the vehicle or equipment reaches the end of its life-cycle or the contractually obligated period, the replacement fund provides the financial resources for its like replacement.
