These funds will be used to <br />purchase a replacement vehicle for the WPCP administrative staff. <br />BACKGROUND <br />WPCP administrative staff is overdue for a replacement vehicle. WPCP staff seek to replace the <br />current sedan with a vehicle that would allow for groups to easily drive to trainings, seminars, and <br />tests, which would be preferable to taking multiple vehicles. The vehicle would need a range of at <br />least 200 miles round trip to some of the events WPCP personnel attend, and should seat at least <br />seven people. <br />Staff originally planned to replace the sedan with a Transit van. However, because the WPCP has <br />an electric vehicle charger, and because clean vehicle rebates are available, staff determined <br />that it would be environmentally responsible to replace the sedan with a plug-in hybrid. The only <br />vehicle that qualified for a rebate that would meet the above objectives was a Chrysler Pacifica <br />Hybrid. Alameda County did have a price option for the Pacifica. Thus, staff issued a bid to <br />procure this vehicle for the WPCP staff. <br />WPCP fund 593-52-113-7410 has remaining funds since the winning bid for an equipment <br />purchase budgeted in this account came in at a much lower price than estimated. <br />Analysis <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/10/2018 <br />60
