RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A FIVE YEAR AGREEMENT WITH MONARCH

______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, the Vocational Rehabilitation Services, Work Center, of the Human Services Agency requires the lease of a truck to deliver items packaged by its participants to businesses throughout the Bay Area, and the Work Center’s Agreement with Penske Truck Leasing expired on November 30, 2004; and

 

WHEREAS, the Human Services Agency Director signed a new temporary lease with Penske so there would be no interruption in services, while a long term lease was approved, and Monarch is now being awarded the long term lease due to its value in pricing and the fact that all quotes were based on the same description from every vendor; and

 

WHEREAS, the Agreement with Monarch is for five years in the amount of $88,826 and the term of March 15, 2005 through March 14, 2010; and

 

WHEREAS, is in the County’s best interest to approve a five year Agreement with Monarch insofar as truck leasing companies give rate discounts based on the length of a lease Agreement and an agreement shorter than five years would cost significantly more; and

 

WHEREAS, This Board has been presented with a form of such Agreement and said Board has examined and approved same as to both form and content and desires to enter into the same.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the President of this Board of Supervisors is hereby authorized and directed to execute said Agreement for and on behalf of the County of San Mateo, and the Clerk of this Board shall attest the President's signature thereto.
