Report Title: Participating Addendum with Pierce Manufacturing, Inc.
Recommendation: Recommendation of the County Administrator
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a Participating Addendum with Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., through their Oshkosh Airport Products and Frontline Communications Division, in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000, for the purchase of an Oshkosh Airport Stryker 4x4 ARFF Vehicle, for use at the Buchanan Field Airport, under the terms of a cooperative purchasing contract awarded by Sourcewell, a State of Minnesota public agency, during the period of September 8, 2026 through December 8, 2029, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Airport Enterprise Fund
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 an Oshkosh Airport Stryker 4x4 ARFF Vehicle, offered through a division of Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., Oshkosh Airport Products and Frontline Communications, under contract No 082025-PMI. The County’s participating addendum incorporates the terms of a cooperative services contract awarded by Sourcewell, to Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. Approval of the participating addendum allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through Sourcewell. The purchase will support the Airport with an Oshkosh Airport Stryker 4x4 ARFF Vehicle, required by the department, while providing critical equipment for discounted prices and under more favorable terms than without the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without a participating addendum under the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract the department would be paying full price for an Oshkosh Airport Stryker 4x4 ARFF Vehicle.
