| 20260126 | LA County | Alhambra | City Council | Item | 14. AWARD CONTRACT: PURCHASE OF ONE POLICE PATROL VEHICLE – F2M26-6A, C2M26-7, M2M26-18 On September 7, 2025, Patrol Vehicle Unit 553 was involved in a non-injury traffic collision while on duty that sustained extensive damage. Following inspection, the insurance adjuster determined the vehicle to be a total loss. The California Joint Powers Insurance Authority issued an insurance settlement to the City in the amount of $48,047.17. Due to current market conditions and the cost of purchasing and outfitting a replacement patrol vehicle, the insurance proceeds are insufficient to cover the full replacement cost. Staff is requesting authorization for additional funds from the Equipment Fund Reserves to cover the shortfall, which after vehicle purchase and labor outfitting, the costs are estimated at approximately $58,438.90. Staff aims to acquire this new patrol vehicle through a cooperative purchase agreement. On February 8, 2024, Sourcewell opened bids for the procurement of cars, vans, SUVs, and light trucks, along with related equipment, accessories, and services. Sourcewell awarded contract 09152-NAF to National Auto Fleet Group in November 8, 2025, an agreement that does not expire until November 11, 2026. Cooperative purchase is allowable per Alhambra Municipal Code 3.36.080(B)(3). Recommended Action: City Council award a contract to National Auto Fleet Group, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, for the purchase of one police patrol vehicle in the amount of $58,438.90; authorize additional appropriations in the amount of $10,391.73 to complete the purchase from the Equipment Fund Reserves; and, direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action.
