Report Title: Participating Addendum with 72 Hour, LLC., dba National Auto Fleet Group
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a Participating Addendum with 72 Hour LLC., dba National Auto Fleet Group, in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000, for automobiles, SUV’s, vans, light trucks with related equipment and accessories, for use by the Public Works Fleet Division, during the period of August 11, 2026 through November December 1, 2029, under the terms of a cooperative purchasing contract awarded by Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota public agency, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product costs paid by County Departments (100% Various Funds).
BACKGROUND:
Sourcewell is a State of Minnesota public agency that negotiates cooperative purchasing contracts after completing a competitive solicitation. The terms of those contracts are made available to public agencies participating in the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program. Contra Costa Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a participating addendum for the purchase of automobiles, SUV’s, vans, light trucks with related equipment and accessories, laboratory and toxicology testing, screening services, and related solutions offered through 72 Hour LLC., dba National Auto Fleet Group. The County’s participating addendum incorporates the terms of a cooperative contract awarded by Sourcewell, to 72 Hour LLC., dba National Auto Fleet Group (Sourcewell Contract No. 081325-NAF). Approval of the participating addendum allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through Sourcewell. The purchase will support the Public Works Fleet Department with automobiles, SUV’s, vans, light trucks with related equipment and accessories, required by the department, while providing a variety of vehicles for discounted prices. This will allow the Public Works Fleet Department to purchase vehicles at more favorable terms and pricing than would be available without the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without a participating addendum under the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract, the County would need to satisfy purchasing policies and solicitation requirements before making purchases from the vendor.
