have been in service for almost ten (10) years and have exceeded their useful and optimum life

WHEREAS, the City of National City has an opportunity to piggyback onto County of San
Diego Request for Quotations ("RFQ") # 769 with Chula Vista Ford to allow for the purchase of
three (3) 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (K8A) AWD vehicles; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code provides that the City
may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by another
public agency whose procedures have been determined to be in substantial compliance with the
City's procurement procedures, and such a determination has been made in this case, therefore,
it is recommended that the purchase be made without complying with the competitive bidding
procedure set forth in the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, National City's Purchasing staff has confirmed that the County of San Diego
RFQ #769 with Chula Vista Ford was competitively bid through a Request for Proposals process,
and that the County of San Diego procurement procedures are in substantial compliance with
those of National City; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.110(B) of the National City Municipal Code provides that the
City Council may waive formal competitive bidding requirements when, among other reasons,
competitive bidding is or would be impractical or impossible or the circumstances are such that
no obvious, ascertainable advantage to the City could result, and such a determination has been
made in this case, therefore, it is recommended that the purchase be made without complying
with the competitive bidding procedure set forth in the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, National City's Purchasing staff has confirmed that, due to the need to
complete the buildouts for the new police vehicles in a timely manner, coupled with American
Emergency Products' development of a proprietary plug-and-play wire harness system
customized for and used on other Police Department's patrol vehicles (as well as Fire Department
vehicles), competitive bidding would be impractical or impossible and there is no obvious,
ascertainable advantage from such bidding; and
WHEREAS, City staff recommends adoption of the resolution as stated.
