SUMMARY
The Measure P Expenditure Plan provides for the replacement of failing infrastructure and includes 15 light-duty non-emergency vehicles. The State of California is offering a $10,000 per vehicle rebate under the Public Fleet Pilot Project program. The Public Fleet Pilot Project limits rebates to no more than 30 vehicles per calendar year per agency and the deadline for submittal is December 31, 2017. The City's rebate request is $150,000 and that is estimated to be 25% of the State rebate remaining funds which are rapidly depleting. The replacement of the 15 failing vehicles with Nissan Leaf battery electric vehicles advances City objectives that include reducing both operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
The City of Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.140 and Council Resolution No. 6132 authorize the City to participate in cooperative bids with other government agencies for the purchase of materials of common usage, provided that the Purchasing Agent determines that the competitive process used for the cooperative bid was consistent with good purchasing practices.
