 Issue: The Webb County Community Action Agency’s Meals on Wheels Program seeks court authorization for the Purchasing Dept. to factory order five (5) new leased vehicles for food delivery.
 
Solution: The use of leased vehicles will significantly reduce mileage costs as the drivers of the Meals on Wheels Program will no longer rely on their personal vehicles to deliver meals.
 
Result: By leasing new vehicles, Webb County will establish a complete fleet dedicated to meal delivery.

Background:  The Purchasing Agent will coordinate with Enterprise Fleet Management to order the lease unit(s) as per directive by Commissioners Court.  If approved, the Webb County Purchasing Agent will secure a lease rate quote for a 48-month lease term.  Ordering a lease vehicle is subject to availability of open order banks for lease vehicles.  Rates may vary depending on stock and/or factory order.  Factory orders will typically take up to 4 – 6 months depending on Manufacture’s production schedule and overall demand in the car industry.  Timeline on order will vary depending on what order banks are open and if those open order banks are for the requested vehicle type.
