. recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of the annual purchase order to Berger Chevrolet for the purchase of vehicles for various departments for fiscal year ending 2025
BACKGROUND:
It has been the practice of Genesee County's Motor Pool to replace vehicles at regular yearly intervals and/or mileage to maximize auction value. For most vehicles and departments, the replacement interval is 5 years or 120,000 miles. Annually, Motor Pool reviews the existing fleet and makes recommendation for replacement based on this practice. Since COVID, vehicle availability, and our vendors ability to outfit vehicles, has slowed and caused delays in delivery. Motor Pool is taking this into consideration when proposing annual purchases.
DISCUSSION:
For FYE 2025, Motor Pool is recommending the purchase of 47 vehicles to replace existing vehicles and/or add vehicles where there are available dedicated grant funds. Attached to this memo is a list of each vehicle, the vehicle it is replacing, or the specific funding that is paying for the additional vehicle. The costs associated with each vehicle are approximate. Final fleet cost is unknown until time of order. This list does include the purchase of 3 electric vehicles as a pilot program for Genesee County's Fleet. In addition to the purchase of these vehicles, Motor Pool also requests authorization to outfit those specialty vehicles as required. Pricing for this fluctuates based on timing of vehicle delivery but was anticipated within the current fiscal year budget. This will also include the outfitting of the vehicles per the departments needs and request.
