Council awards a fleet parts agreement to Genuine Parts Company/NAPA IBS, up to $6.6 million
The council approved a fleet parts and supply management agreement with Genuine Parts Company/NAPA Integrated Business Solutions, for up to $6,600,000 ($3,300,000 a year) from the Fleet Services fund, on a voice vote with no opposition heard. The public works director said NAPA had been the City's in-house parts supplier for about ten years, that pricing is NAPA's cost plus 10% under a Sourcewell contract, that NAPA owns and manages the inventory, and that annual spending had stayed about flat as the fleet grew. Asked why leased vehicles had not cut parts costs, staff said the City still services leased vehicles itself and does not lease heavy equipment such as trash trucks. In public comment a resident asked whether the new fleet should be lowering parts costs.[1][2]
