FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022
SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION OF AN ENGINE FOR A PUBLIC
WORKS VEHICLE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the replacement and installation of
an engine from Sam Pack's Five Star Ford for a Public Works Department
vehicle.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Motor Vehicle Maintenance budget for an
amount not to exceed $18,533.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for the replacement and installation of a 6.7 liter diesel
engine for Public Works/Traffic unit No. 15362. This is a 2012 Ford F450
that is used primarily to support the City/GCISD fiber project. Staff
considered replacing this vehicle, but current lead times to obtain a new
unit would hinder progress on the fiber project.
The purchase of the replacement and installation of an engine for unit No.
15362 from Sam Pack's Five Star Ford will be made as a sole source
purchase in accordance with Local Government Code Chapter 252,
Subchapter B, §252.022. General Exemptions (a)(7)(3).
Staff recommends approval.
