STATE CONTRACT 1-14-23-23A.pdf
Summary: Per California Law, all compressed natural gas powered vehicles are required to replace the fuel cylinders after fifteen years of service from the manufactured date. Ford Motor Corporation has discontinued the production of their 5.4L Natural Gas Engine, making it very difficult to obtain engine and fuel components. Vehicle's #217, #266, and #273 will have expired fuel cylinders effective March 2015. We are requesting additional funding to our vehicle replacement budget to replace these three vans, in the amount of $30,260.19 each.

In addition, the Maintenance Department is currently operating without a spare van. We are requesting additional funds to purchase a new van. See attached quote from Downtown Ford in the amount of $30,260.19.
Funding: $90,780.57 for three new replacement 2015 Ford 1-Ton Cargo Vans. Budget: 051-5160-55-6596
$30,260.19 for one new 2015 Ford 1-Ton Cargo Van. Budget: 051-5160-55-6596
Fiscal Impact $120,260.19
