amount of $234,433.
Executive Summary
This purchase would replace nine motorcycles that have reached the end of their useful
life. In January 2013, the City solicited bids for the purchase of nine new and unused
Honda police motorcycles. A fter reviewing the four bids received, staff recommends
Hollister Honda as the best bidder for the purchase and delivery of nine police
motorcycles in the amount of $234,433.

vehicle replacement program. The nine motorcycles to be r eplaced are used by the
Santa Monica Police Department Special Enforcement Division.

new and unused Honda police motorcycles. The bid was posted on the City’s on-line

opened on February 15, 2013 per Attachment A. The bids were evaluated based on
