TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract, and any necessary amendments, with Transwest Truck Center, LLC, of Fontana, CA, for the purchase of two Ford F-550 mini rear-loader refuse trucks, on the same terms and conditions afforded in the City of Pasadena contract, for a total contract amount not to exceed $298,237, inclusive of taxes and fees.

DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Transwest Truck Center, LLC (Transwest), for the purchase of two current year Ford F-550 mini rear-loader refuse trucks, for a total contract amount not to exceed $298,237, inclusive of taxes and fees. The units are for use by the Public Works Department, Environmental Services Bureau’s Clean Team. Purchase of these vehicles were approved by the City Manager in the FY 20 Fleet Replacement Plan.
The Fleet Services Bureau and the Purchasing Division in the Department of Financial Management investigated procurement options for the Ford F-550 mini rear-loader trucks, and found that the City of Pasadena had completed an open, fair, transparent, and competitive procurement process. The City reviewed the City of Pasadena cooperative agreement and Transwest was chosen for their competitive pricing.
City Charter Section 1802 provides an alternative procurement method by permitting the City to purchase or otherwise obtain services, supplies, materials, equipment, and labor with other government agencies by purchasing under their contracts on a voluntary and selective basis when authorized by a Resolution of the City Council.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Taylor M. Anderson on July 6, 2020, Deputy Finance Director Sandy Tsang-Palmer on June 29, 2020, and by Budget Management Officer Rhutu Amin Gharib on June 30, 2020.
