PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Approve the Use of Hovley Tire in an Amount not to Exceed
$100,000.00 for Supplemental General Fleet Repairs for Fiscal
Year 2008-09
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: June 12, 2008
CONTENTS: Vehicle Services Repair Survey, Hovley Tire Letter
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, approve the use of Hovley Tire for those general
fleet repair services that cannot be accomplished by the City's
mechanic, for the 2008-09 fiscal year in an amount not to exceed
$100,000.00.
Discussion:
The City's administrative and work fleet consists of 76 vehicles ranging from small
sedans to heavy-duty trucks operating on electricity, gasoline, compressed natural
gas, propane, diesel, or a combination of these fuels. The City's maintenance facility
is neither equipped nor staffed to accomplish all necessary repairs and maintenance
of these vehicles. The City has relied on outside service facilities to perform repairs
that are beyond our service capabilities.
A vehicle repair services survey has been prepared that illustrates three local repair
facilities and the variety of inechanical services they provide: Hovley Tire, Kim's
Automotive, and Palms to Pines Automotive. All these facilities are in very close
proximity to our maintenance services facility; however, Hovley Tire is the only facility
that is able to provide the necessary repairs to all the City's fleet vehicles including
the CNG alternative-fuel vehicles and some heavy equipment. Funds are available in
account 110-4331-413-3340. Therefore, staff recommends that City Council approve
Hovley Tire for general fleet repair services for the 2008-2009 fiscal year in an
amount not to exceed $100,000.00.

Fiscal Impact: Approval of this request may result in savings to the City
in staff time and effort by avoiding delays in the procurement of general fleet repair
services that cannot be accomplished by staff.
