Background and Discussion:
Fleet Services is requesting a contract to purchase new replacement batteries for County vehicles. Good quality batteries are expensive and having a contract in place will lock in the lowest possible price for us.
Expected Impact:
Batteries have a short life when used in severe duty applications, so having replacement batteries readily available is essential to keeping the fleet starting and running when needed.
Alternative Options:
There are no other options that I am aware of. Batteries are the key ingredient to having a reliable vehicle and the County fleet can’t be operated without them.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
_ Governance and Customer Service
