This item involves a request for the first one-year Extension to the Agreement between Regional Transit System (RTS) and TransDiesel of Ocala for repair and/or rebuild of medium and heavy-duty Allison transmissions.
Explanation
RTS and the Fleet Management Department have an Agreement with TransDiesel of Ocala for the repair and rebuild of medium and heavy-duty truck and bus transmissions. The Agreement allows for two one-year extensions, subject to funding and written consent of both parties. The First Extension is for the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007.
Fiscal Note
The estimated RTS annual expenditure for Allison Transmission repair service is approximately $95,000. Funding is available in the RTS FY 2006 and FY 2007 operating budgets. The Fleet Management Department will utilize this Agreement, and funding in the amount of $15,000 is available in their FY 2006 and FY 2007 operating budgets.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) authorize the City Manager to execute the First Extension to the Agreement with TransDiesel of Ocala for the period of October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute any and all related documents.
Alternative Recommendation A: The City Commission decline the authorization for the City Manager to execute the First Extension to the Agreement with TransDiesel of Ocala and provide staff with specific direction for securing these commodities. This would require selecting another vendor or issuance of a new Invitation to Bid and incur additional administrative costs.
