Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

F.5. Consider Approval of Vendor for the Purchase of White Fleet Vehicles Description: The district closed RFP 2526-04 for the Purchase of Fleet Vehicles on March 10, 2026. This RFP was issued for the purchase of two (2) new trucks and two to three (2-3) new vans for the WSISD Maintenance and Operations Department. Caldwell Country Chevrolet was identified as providing the best value to the district based on pricing, availability, and overall responsiveness to the RFP specifications. The RFP included a range of two to three (2-3) vans, as the district was uncertain how many vehicles could be purchased within the available budget. The proposed pricing will allow the district to purchase three (3) new vans while remaining within the budgeted amount. The total cost will be $256,653.24 and is included in the current amended budget.
