Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: Procurement and Contracts has been advised that funding is available within the Department of Transportation's Fleet Management Internal Service Fund.
Background: On March 3, 2009 the Board Approved the award of bid #09-070-051 for the purchase of new fleet vehicles.
Reason for Recommendation: The purchase orders for these vehicles were issued on March 4, 2009. On April 1, 2009 the sales tax rate increased by 1%. Since the vehicles were not delivered prior to the sales tax increase, these purchase orders now require increases to reflect the change in the tax rate.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Following Board approval, the Procurement and Contracts Division will increase purchase orders 2914454 by $3,573.44, 2914562 by $775.71 and 2914558 by $762.96 to reflect the increase in the sales tax rate.
