Financial Impact:
This vehicle will be purchased with funds budgeted for planned vehicle replacements in Road account 3011-57605 and will not impact the General Fund.
Background Information:
On 10/1/2025 the Purchasing Department advertised for bid one (1) new ½ ton 4x4 Extended Cab Standard Bed Pickup. At bid opening on 10/10/2025 the Purchasing Department had received four bids. The lowest responsive bid was from an out of County vendor. The County’s Local Vendor Preference Ordinance provided Corning Ford with the opportunity to match or beat the bid as they were within 5 percent of the low out of County bid. Corning Ford submitted a new bid, lower than that of the out of County low bid, thus meeting the Local Vendor Preference Ordinance requirements
This vehicle will be replacing fleet vehicle #178 which has 233,000 miles, many mechanical issues and is in desperate need of replacement.
