Vehicle Repair Services Survey
By Minute Motion, approve the use of specific automotive facilities for
supplemental general fleet repairs from L & L Automotive, Inc., and
Ozzie's Automotive, Inc., for FY12/13 in an amount not to exceed
$100,000.
Funds are available in General Fund Account No. 110-4331-413-3340, R/M Fleet.
Background
The City's fleet inventory consists of 86 vehicles ranging from small sedans to heavy-
duty trucks operating on electricity, gasoline, compressed natural gas (CNG), 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 survey has been prepared that illustrates four local repair facilities and
the variety of mechanical services they provide: L & L Automotive, Inc., Ozzie's
Automotive Inc., Kim's Automotive, and Palms to Pines Automotive.
L & L Automotive, Inc., and Ozzie's Automotive, Inc., have been selected for fleet repair
services based on the hourly rate of $85.00 for L & L and $79.00 for Ozzie's, and their
ability to provide the necessary repairs to all the City's fleet vehicles, including CNG
alternative -fuel vehicles. For any significant costly repairs, the City's Mechanic will
determine which vendor to use based on the most reasonable estimates received for
the repairs needed.
Fiscal Analysis
Approval of this request may result in savings to the City in staff time and effort by
avoiding delays in procurement of general fleet repair services that cannot be
accomplished by staff.
