Report Title: Contract with East Bay Tire Company for Mobile Tire Repair Service, Countywide.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works director, or designee, to execute a contract with East Bay Tire Company in an amount not to exceed $500,000, to provide mobile roadside tire repair services, exchange, and installation for the period of January 14, 2025 through December 31, 2028, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Fleet Internal Service Fund
BACKGROUND:
Public Works Fleet Services oversees the maintenance of vehicles, with tires being a crucial component of this upkeep for all fleet vehicles. East Bay Tire Company offers mobile roadside tire services, including repair, replacement, and installation for Contra Costa County. They provide service for county vehicles, including emergency service vehicles, both during regular hours and after hours (including holidays and weekends).
East Bay Tire Company will hold two contracts with the Fleet Department: one as an authorized tire provider and another for tire repairs and services. On December 3, 2024, a Participating Addendum for various tire configurations was approved by the Board that will allow the County to purchase tires at discount prices, and ultimately pass that savings along to County Departments. East Bay Tire Company is an authorized Goodyear dealer that provides government fleet pricing. Goodyear tires are the County Fleet standard.
Fleet Services is requesting the Board to approve a service contract with East Bay Tire Company of $500,000 for three years, with two one-year extension options for the service portion of the contract.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, mobile tire repair services, exchanges, and installation will not be available to maintain countywide vehicles.
