REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION: At the request of the Department of Transportation, the Procurement and Contracts division issued an Invitation to Bid for Truck Tires and Related Services on the West Slope of El Dorado County. Bid #11-863-029 was awarded to lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Sierra Nevada Tire & Wheel of Placerville, California by the Purchasing Agent on January 4, 2011. A Blanket Purchase Order (BP) was issued in the amount of $55,000, based on the department's annual purchases in previous years. With the long and severe winter encountered by El Dorado County this past year, the Department of Transportation has had an increased need for the purchase of truck tires and tire related services. Because services are included in this BP, the Purchasing Agent's authority is limted by Government Code and County Ordinance at $60,318. On October 17th, the Purchasing Agent increased the BP to $60,318 (BP is attached); however the department estimates that total purchases through the remainder of the BP term will be approximately $71,000. It is also recommended that the Board authorize the Purchasing Agent to increase the BP if needed by the department and if funding is available.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN FOLLOWING APPROVAL: Following Board approval, the Procurement and Contracts division will increase blanket purchase order BP20110368 for a total of $71,000.00 to Sierra Nevada Tire & Wheel, of Placerville, CA.
