Exhibit 1 - Agenda Information Sheet - Amendment 1City of Denton
_____________________________________________________________________________________
AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement
DCM: David Gaines
DATE: May 3, 2022
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract extension between the City of Denton and James Wood
Autopark, Inc., through May 5, 2023, to continue providing the supply of medium duty truck chassis for
various City of Denton departments; and declaring an effective date (File 6865 – extending a contract with
James Wood Autopark, Inc., to May 5, 2023).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The proposed contract amendment is for an extension of time only for the purchase of medium duty truck
chassis for various City Departments and refers to trucks in classes 4 and 5 (4500 and 5500 series). The bid
is for a truck cab and chassis only. Service bodies and various bed configurations are provided under a
separate contract. Annual replacement and or addition quantities are estimated to be 12 trucks for Utility
Departments and 4 trucks for General Fund departments over the life of the contract. These trucks have
been vetted as to the appropriate size and type for each department’s intended application.
In addition, a number of value-added services will be provided at no cost. Comparable loaner vehicles
issued for warranty repairs, three (3) years of complimentary scheduled preventative maintenance, vehicle
pickup and delivery, and inspection and condition reports provided with each visit.
This contract also includes a 10% discount on body and paint repair and a 15% discount on non-warranty
parts and services performed through this local vendor. The total not-to-exceed amount includes estimated
expenditures for body and paint and mechanical repair over the life of the contract.
Due to the supply chain interruption of new vehicle parts and micro-chips in late 2020, most of 2021, and
continuing into 2022, vehicle manufacturers have limited production and ordering of various models. As a
result, Fleet Services was unable to order new medium duty trucks. The contract extension will allow for
ordering of the remaining FY21/22 fleet replacements and additions as well as anticipated medium duty
truck purchases for FY22/23.
All purchases will be approved through the individual department’s budget process annually. Individual
jobs will be set up for each department after funding is available at the beginning of the new fiscal year.
The not-to-exceed amount of this contract is based on estimated vehicle and equipment replacements and
additions for the life of the contract.
