PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Reject All Bids for the Purchase of 13 Dedicated CNG Alternative
Fuel Pick-Up Trucks
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: January 8, 2009
ATTACHMENT: Bid Proposals
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, that the City Council:
1. Declare all bids for the purchase of 13 dedicated CNG alternative fuel pick-up
trucks as non-responsive; and
2. Direct staff to re-bid when the California Air Resources Board approves the
certification for the 2009 Ford F-150 model trucks.
Discussion:
On October 30, 2008, sealed bids were opened for the purchase of 13 2008 Ford F-150
dedicated CNG alternative fuel replacement pick-up trucks. Of the ten bid packages
sent out, only two vendors responded with the following results:
Trans-West Truck Center, Fontana, CA $540,957.33
Wondries Fleet Group, Alhambra, CA $578,226.38
The bids submitted by Trans-West Truck Center and Wondries Fleet Ford are
non-responsive. Trans-West Truck Center submitted a bid for 13 2009 Ford F-150
dedicated CNG pickup trucks. However, the 2009 Ford F-150 model trucks are not
certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). It is estimated that the
certification for the 2009 Ford F-150 model trucks will be approved in late February
2009.
Wondries Fleet Group submitted a bid for 13 2008 Ford F-250 model pick-up trucks.
Since the Notice for Invitation to Bidders specifically requested 13 2008 Ford F-150
pickup trucks, this bid is non-responsive.

re-bid when the certification is finalized by the California Air Resources Board in
February 2009.
