A new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Service Body Pickup Truck will be purchased
to replace the existing 2013 vehicle. The truck is utilized by the PWSD Utilities Division
to support a variety of maintenance and repair activities, including responding to
customer service requests, performing water meter repairs and replacements,
collecting water meter data, and investigating water meter leaks.
The new 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD will be equipped with a service body that
provides secure, organized, and weather-resistant storage for tools, meters, fittings,
repair parts, personal protective equipment (“PPE”), traffic-control equipment, and
other supplies necessary to support field operations.
DISCUSSION
A Notice Inviting Bids was published in accordance with City Council Resolution No.
7483, and bid packages were distributed to local vendors that provide this type of
vehicle. On August 13, 2026, the City Clerk received seven bids. The bid results are
summarized below:
Bidder Location Bid Amount
Fairfield Chevrolet & CA Police Cars Fairfield, CA $51,586.25*
Mountain View Chevrolet Upland, CA $63,242.51
American Chevrolet Modesto, CA $64,427.03
DeLillo Chevrolet Huntington Beach, CA $64,480.00
One Nation Distribution, LLC Volant, PA $66,187.29
Chevrolet of Puente Hills City of Industry, CA $67,000.00
Sierra Chevrolet of Monrovia Monrovia, CA $68,137.55
* Fairfield Chevrolet & CA Police Cars’ bid is deemed non-responsive.
All bid documents were reviewed for completeness and compliance with the
specifications, and the background of each vendor was evaluated. During this review,
it was determined that Fairfield Chevrolet & CA Police Cars submitted a bid for a 2026
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD that did not include the service body specified in the bid
documents. The required service body is necessary to provide secure, organized, and
weather-resistant storage for equipment and supplies used in field operations.
Because the Fairfield Chevrolet & CA Police Cars bid did not meet the required
specifications, the bid was determined to be non-responsive. Based on the
Purchase Order with Mountain View Chevrolet

evaluation of the remaining bids, Mountain View Chevrolet was determined to be the
lowest responsive bidder meeting all the City’s required vehicle specifications.
