SUMMARY
On October 17, 2017 the City Council approved resolution 2017-192 authorizing the purchase of fifteen (15) Nissan Leaf battery electric vehicles. Due to factors beyond the City's control the Nissan vendor was not able to fulfill the purchase order at the quoted price and the purchase order was voided. In December 2017 the City requested bids for battery electric vehicles via Planet Bids. A review of City needs supports the purchase of twelve (12) Hyundai Ioniq Electrics and three (3) Chevrolet Bolts. The State of California is offering a $10,000 per vehicle rebate under the Public Fleet Pilot Project program. This action will ensure that the City receives the $150,000 Clean Fleet Pilot Project rebate it has been approved for by the California Air Resources Board.

The Measure P Expenditure Plan provides for the replacement of failing infrastructure and includes 15 light-duty non-emergency vehicles. The use of the Measure P fund to replace these failing vehicles with electric vehicles will provide additional benefits through reduced emissions and operational costs.
