THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Eric Jean, Assistant Director of Public Works
DATE: February 6, 2026
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2026-12 - Authorizing the Use of the Fleet Replacement
Fund for the Purchase of Two Ford Bronco SUVs Utilizing the State of Alaska
Equipment Fleet Contract.
This Resolution authorizes the purchase of two Ford Bronco SUVs for the Senior Center through
Kendall Ford utilizing the State of Alaska Equipment Fleet Contract. The City's Fleet Replacement
Fund will be used for this purchase. The cost of the Ford Broncos is $33,055 each for a total price
of $66,110.
In accordance with the City's fleet replacement plan, the Senior Center was scheduled to replace
one Senior Center utility vehicle in FY26. A previous Senior Center vehicle was totaled and
auctioned and also needs replaced. After reviewing the main use of these vehicles for Meals on
Wheels delivery with the Shop and Senior Center staff, it was determined that Ford Broncos will
meet the needs of the City.
KMC 7.15.070(b)(4) allows the City of Kenai to purchase equipment without giving an opportunity
for competitive bidding if the equipment is purchasable under the contract of another government
agency in which contract the City is authorized to participate. The City is eligible to utilize the
State of Alaska Equipment Fleet Contract to purchase these vehicles from Kendall Ford.
Purchase of these vehicles is in the best interest of the City and we recommend authorizing
purchase.
Thank you for your consideration.
