Background and Discussion:
This contract is used to supply Harris County with parts, supplies, and the labor to replace the parts for
our Ford medium duty trucks. This is needed as many parts can only be purchased at the dealership level since
they are not available in the aftermarket supply industry yet.
Expected Impact:
Renewing this contract will allow us to utilize two different dealerships for purchasing parts and supplies, as
well as the ability to use their service departments for the repair of the trucks when needed. This will lessen
the workload in our shops during peak times so we can concentrate on the law enforcement fleet, and also
create more space in our shops and parking lots for smaller vehicles that don't take up as much room.
Alternative Options:
There are no alternatives for factory only parts. For the service side we can perform the repairs ourselves, but
shop space and parking will become an issue, and it will delay the repair of other vehicles.
Alignment with Goal(s):
_ Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
