Background
The City's fleet inventory consists of 86 vehicles ranging from small sedans to heavy-

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: Palms to Pines Automotive, L & L
Automotive, Inc., Ozzie's Automotive Inc., and Kim's Automotive.
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 $75.00 for Palms to
Pines, $79.00 for Ozzie's and $85.00 for L & L, 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.
