Background:
Rubicon Trail is a world-renowned trail for off-highway recreational activity and has experienced significant increased volume in use over the years. The Sheriff's department has provided services to this area to ensure the safety of its users and protect the trail's natural condition. The Sheriff's department is committed to provide patrol on the weekends to the Rubicon trail. A special use vehicle and its equipment are necessary for the mountainous terrain associated with the trail. The current vehicle the department is utilizing is no longer suitable as it has deteriorated and is beyond reasonable repair. The new vehicle will provide the necessary safety and access for Sheriff's patrol.
Reason for Recommendation: Appropriations have been identified in the Promotions budget to fund the cost of one vehicle for the Rubicon. The Purchasing department has initiated a formal bid process to acquire this vehicle. The bids are due on May 30, 2007 and after the 10 day protest period expires the selected vendor is required to deliver the vehicle within 7 days. It is anticipated that the delivery of the vehicle will occur the week of June 18, 2007.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Board Chair will sign the budget transfer; Auditor's office will process the budget transfer
