Purpose and Recommended Action

Background
The vehicles requested for purchase would replace existing Police Department motorcycles that exceed the replacement schedule for police motorcycles currently set at seven years or 75,000 miles, dependent on use and maintenance history. These motorcycles are included in the Vehicle Replacement Fund (VRF) schedule and meet the criteria for replacement.
GOAZ Motorcycles was awarded a bid by the State of Arizona to provide police motorcycles described in the Statewide Law Enforcement Motorcycles Contract. Staff is requesting to utilize the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement which permits cooperative use by other governmental agencies including the city. Contract No. ADSPO13-038704 was awarded on January 3, 2013 and is effective through January 2, 2017.
Cooperative purchasing allows counties, municipalities, schools colleges and universities in Arizona to use a contract that was competitively procured by another governmental entity or purchasing cooperative. Such purchasing helps reduce the cost of procurement, allows access to a multitude of competitively bid contracts, and provides the opportunity to take advantage of volume pricing. The Glendale City Code authorizes cooperative purchases when the solicitation process utilized complies with the intent of Glendale’s procurement processes. This cooperative purchase is compliant with Chapter 2, Article V, Division 2, Section 2-149 of the Glendale City Code, per review by Materials Management.
Analysis
The City of Glendale Police motorcycle fleet is currently composed of Honda ST1300 motorcycles which require up-fitting with law enforcement components to create a police package motorcycle. Fleet Management and Police Services worked together and identified that the transition to the BMW R1200 police package motorcycle is in the best interest of the City. The requested law enforcement motorcycles are to be utilized by the Police Department, and will be used by the motor officers.
