TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Joseph Hopp, Superintendent of Maintenance Services
DATE: September 19, 2018
SUBJECT:
Ratification for payment and expenses for the remainder 2018 to Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford for various automotive repairs.
PURPOSE:
To pay Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford for the balance of 2018 for dealer repairs to the City of Aurora fleet.
BACKGROUND:
Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford is the local Ford dealer located in the North Aurora Auto Mall. Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford has been the preferred Ford dealer for dealer repairs since they provide a free hiking service to their Ford automotive shop. Earlier this year, Purchase Order ("PO") 287691 was issued for automotive repairs in the amount of $24,500.00. During the year other singular PO's have been issued for accident repairs when Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford body shop was the low bid.
Currently Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford repairs are $49,731.71 with Suspension/Steer and Drivetrain being the two highest repair codes due to the components in these critical automotive systems. Taking in account the current trend it is projected that an additional $25,000.00 will need to be budgeted for a balance of 2018.
DISCUSSION:
The 2018 budget for account 120-4431-418.38-01 began at $609,000 to fund various fleet/equipment repairs. There are enough funds remaining to fund the anticipated payments to Fox Valley Ford/Gerald Ford.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There is no impact to other city divisions.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
