The Fleet Services Division of Facilities, Fleet & Emergency Support Services requests

approval for purchase orders from the General and Human Services Funds to John Elway

Chevrolet for the acquisition of ten vehicles as approved in the 2025 Adopted Budget for the

replacement of Enterprise leased vehicles.

Douglas County entered into a pilot lease program with Enterprise in 2022 to see if leasing

was a viable option. This program was initiated with the lease of eleven vehicles, including

one Ford Ranger and ten Chevrolet Blazers. One Blazer was deemed a total loss in 2024, and

a replacement was not ordered, bringing the number of leased assets in the initial program to

ten.

After three years in the program and reviewing the proposed price increases to continue with

another round of leases, Fleet Services and Budget have determined that leasing is not

cost-beneficial for Douglas County over the average ten-year life cycle of County fleet

vehicles.

The Fleet Services Division of Facilities, Fleet & Emergency Support Services is requesting

approval for a purchase order from the Health Department Fund to John Elway Chevrolet for

the acquisition of nine vehicles as approved in the 2025 Adopted Budget for the replacement

of Enterprise leased vehicles.

Douglas County entered into a pilot lease program of eleven vehicles with Enterprise in 2022

to see if leasing was a viable option. The additional lease of nine Health Department

Chevrolet Traverse’s in 2023 was a continuation of that pilot program as the intended

mission of the vehicles was similar to those units in the initial 2022 Enterprise lease

program. The use of leases was also beneficial in lowering the startup costs of the Health

Department in 2023.

After two years in the program and reviewing the proposed price increases to continue with

another round of leases, Fleet Services and Budget have determined that leasing is not

cost-beneficial for Douglas County over the average ten-year life cycle of County fleet

vehicles.

County Project Number CI 2025-007. — Public Works Operations

Daniel R. Roberts, P.E., Assistant Director

This Public Contract for Services (PCS) consists of providing on call services primarily

related to removal of dead trees in the public right-of-way that pose a safety hazard. The

contract supplements existing Public Works Operations staff when specialized tree removal

equipment is needed, and when the backlog of work requires additional resources. Work

also includes tree and shrub pruning and removal when needed.

Requests for Proposals were sent to five (5) local contractors on November 5, 2024.

Proposals were received from two contractors on November 22, 2024. A staff selection

committee evaluated the two proposals and interviewed both contractors on December 5,

2024. Following the interviews, the contractors were ranked separately based on their

qualifications, experience, specialized equipment, and ability to respond within the

timeframes expected for the work. The final rankings of the two responsive contractors were

as follows:

RANK

CONTRACTOR

Knothead Tree and Lawn Care

COVA Tree

As the top ranked contractor, Knothead Tree and Lawn Care’s pricing proposal for the six

tasks included in the on-call contract was 27% lower than the next ranked contractor

($40,604 compared to $55,000) for a sample subset of the work to be performed in this

contract which was used for comparison.

Based on these ranking, and because of the ability to provide specialized services to Public

Works Operations as needed, Knothead Tree and Lawn Care has been selected for the 2025

On-Call Arborist Services Contract, in support of Douglas County Public Works Operations,

for an amount not to exceed $175,000.00. The contract end date will be January 1,
