Report Title: Participating Addendum with East Bay Tire Company
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a Participating Addendum with East Bay Tire Company, in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, for the distribution of tires to support Medium and Heavy Duty Trucks, Buses, Transport, Construction and/or Agriculture Vehicles for use by Public Works Fleet Services, during the period of December 3, 2024 through January 6, 2026, under the terms of the Master Contract awarded by the State of California, Department of General Services Procurement Division, and distributed through East Bay Tire Company.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product and service costs paid by County Departments. (100% User Departments)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a Participating Addendum for various tire configurations offered through Easy Bay Tire Company. Products are guaranteed through the master contract awarded by the State of California, Department of General Services Procurement Division. Approval of the addendum between Contra Costa County and East Bay Tire Company, allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through the State of California contract. The purchase will ultimately support all County Departments with a variety of tire configurations required for County vehicles and offers substantial discounts off published list prices. This will allow the Public Works Fleet Division to purchase tires for County vehicles at discount prices, and ultimately pass that savings along to County Departments.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of this agreement, the County will pay full price on the tires purchased today.
