Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The Public Works Department, Fleet Management Division, has an ongoing need to purchase and install specialized bodies and upfits for City vehicles. These components-such as utility, service, dump, and machinist bodies-are essential to performing core City operations and are manufactured separately and installed on truck chassis.
Fleet Management currently maintains contracts with most truck chassis dealers; however, to streamline procurement and expedite placing vehicles into service, additional body and upfitter vendors are required.

RationaleforRecommendation
Rationale for Recommendation: In support of City departments and core operations, the Public Works Department, Fleet Management Division, has an ongoing need to purchase bodies and upfitting services for City vehicles.
On March 30, 2026, Fleet Management issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. B26153311016 for the purchase and installation of various truck bodies and upfitting services. The intent of the IFB was to award contracts to multiple vendors to provide immediate access to various builds and upfit services, thereby improving the efficiency of procuring and placing replacement and new vehicles into service.
Three responsive and responsible bids were received. The bid schedule was based on estimated quantities of common upfitting components, including liftgates, cranes, and aluminum and steel service bodies. Bid results are summarized below:
