TITLE
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract, and any necessary documents, including any necessary subsequent amendments, with Enterprise FM Trust, dba Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc., of St. Louis, MO, to lease vehicles for various Long Beach Police Department operations, on the same terms and conditions afforded to Sourcewell, in an annual amount of $170,000, and authorize a ten percent contingency of $17,000, for a total annual contract amount not to exceed $187,000, for a period of three years, with the option to renew for an additional one-year period, at the discretion of the City Manager. (Citywide)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Enterprise Fleet Management, Inc. (Enterprise), for the lease of as-needed unmarked vehicles, by the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD) for various operations. This lease agreement will allow the City of Long Beach (City) to replace currently leased vehicles of various makes and models that are now at the end of their lease term under previous contract.
The City maintains a wide variety of vehicles to support specialized operations in the LBPD. Leasing a range of new or slightly used model vehicles will provide increased fuel efficiency, lower maintenance costs, and greater reliability for specialized LBPD operations. The lease contract allows for vehicles to be selectively turned in and exchanged for another when flexibility is required.
The current contract was approved by the City Council in October 2020, by Resolution 20-0134, in an annual amount not to exceed $138,221, until the Sourcewell contract expired on July 24, 2022, with the option to renew until July 24, 2023. The amount requested with this action accommodates a current average monthly lease payment of $14,540 while also accommodating an anticipated increase in charges due to high mileage vehicle usage necessitated for critical emergency response by LBPD.
