BACKGROUND:

The City of Ocala operates a fleet of approximately 1,800 vehicles, ranging from cars and light trucks to Class 8 heavy-duty trucks. Annually, over 1,500 tires used by various City departments require repair or replacement. To meet these needs, Fleet Management will purchase tires, tubes, and related services as needed through the State of Florida Contract #25172500-24-ACS.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

As a political subdivision of the state of Florida, the City of Ocala qualifies as an eligible user of the cooperative purchasing agreements that will be utilized to procure this equipment, namely, Florida Department of Management Services Alternate Contract Source Agreement #25172500-24-ACS for Tires, Tubes and Services (Contract Term Expiration: June 30, 2027). Florida Department of Management Services Contract No.:  25172500-24-ACS offers wholesale pricing on Michelin and Goodyear tire products at authorized local dealers at a substantial discount of up to 73%.

Cooperative purchasing programs are comprised of member cities, counties, and other public agencies nationwide who aggregate their members’ purchasing power to achieve greater volume discounts. The underlying solicitation for the foregoing cooperative purchasing agreement has been evaluated and determined by the City’s Procurement Department to be cost-effective and to afford best value.
