resolution
WHEREAS, the DuPage County Board adopted resolutions DT-R-0306-22 on August 9, 2022, DT-R-0306A-22 on August 23, 2022, and DT-R-0306B-22 on October 25, 2022, authorizing the Division of Transportation (DOT) to process purchase orders for the FY2022 canceled orders and FY 2023 and FY 2024 vehicle replacements, in accordance with Board policy; and
WHEREAS, said resolutions and authorizations were in direct response to an unprecedented disruption in global supply chains affecting the availability of essential parts and components for vehicles resulting in reduced and delayed production capacities, prolonged delivery schedules, exceedingly high demands for vehicles and vehicle replacement backlogs; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for the management, maintenance, repair, and procurement of vehicles countywide, for DuPage County departments and elected officials; and
WHEREAS, the majority of canceled FY 2022, FY 2023, and FY 2024 vehicle replacements have been ordered and/or received; and
WHEREAS, global supply chains and production capacities continue to impact vehicle availability and delivery schedules; and
WHEREAS, given the success of the advance purchases of FY 2023 and FY 2024 vehicle replacements, it is in the best interest of DuPage County to continue to make advance procurements of FY 2025 and FY 2026 vehicle replacements, as included on the attached Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, vehicles critical to DuPage County’s operational needs sometimes must be removed from service and replaced due to unforeseen accidents, costly repairs and/or safety concerns; at this time, DOT estimates that for FY 2025 and FY 2026, up to a total of ten (10) additional vehicle replacements may fall into this category and are included on Exhibit A to be procured on an as needed basis consistent with the County’s Vehicle Replacement Policy; and
WHEREAS, the total cost of vehicles included on Exhibit A is $4,225,000 which includes $3,105,000 for general fund departments and elected officials and $1,120,000 for special fund departments; and
WHEREAS, the General Fund-Vehicle Replacement Fund has a balance of approximately $3.8 Million.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the DuPage County Board that resolution DT-R-0306B-22 is hereby amended to authorize the DOT to purchase directly, or as part of a purchasing cooperative, FY 2025 and FY 2026 vehicles at fair market value, consistent with: 55 ILCS 5/5-1022(c), the County’s Vehicle Replacement Policy, and Section 2-355 of the DuPage County Procurement Ordinance. end

Enacted and approved this 12th day of December, 2023 at Wheaton, Illinois.
