City Manager RE: Authorizing the City Manager to
Purchase one GO -4 Interceptor II scooter
from Florida Electric & Gas Vehicles, Inc.
RESOLUTION:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PURCHASE A 2004 GO -4
INTERCEPTOR FROM FLORIDA ELECTRIC & GAS VEHICLES, INC. FOR THE AMOUNT
OF $23,222.00 TO BE CHARGED TO THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT
MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT, NUMBER 001 - 1760 -519 -6430; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The City of South Miami parking contractor presently operates with one Cushman scooter and a GO -4
Interceptor, without a back -up vehicle. The City's parking collection is a major revenue source which
demands dependable and reliable enforcement vehicles in order to operate efficiently. Due to wear and
tear and delays in obtaining repair parts, the one operating Cushman has been down on numerous
occasions causing a loss of revenue to the City.
In an attempt to obtain prices for new Cushman, it was determined that they are no longer manufactured
as parking enforcement vehicles. Florida Electric & Gas Vehicles, Inc. is the only company that
manufactures a gas powered parking enforcement vehicle which is being used by other municipalities
such as City of Coral Gables, City of Fort Lauderdale, City of Miami Beach and City of Sunny Isle
Beach. Based on information obtained from these cities, the GO -4 Interceptor is a very dependable
vehicle which is highly recommended. The Public Works Department has obtained price quotations for
the purchase of this vehicle using purchase order from the City of Coral Gables. The expenditure will be
funded from Public Works Department's budget account number 001- 1760 -519 -6430, with a current
account balance of $29,700.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the purchase.
