Public Works & Transportation Committee - 2/24/26 - Agenda Item D1 - Agreement 32600325 Auto Body

The City of Oxnard's Public Works and Transportation Committee discussed and recommended approval of a new agreement with Auto Body International, Inc. for light and medium duty paint and body repairs for the city's fleet. The proposed contract is valued at up to $1.5 million for an initial one-year term from March 23, 2026, to March 22, 2027, with options for four additional one-year renewals. This contract is essential to maintain the safety and functionality of the city's 983 vehicles and equipment, valued at over $60 million, as the city's fleet shop lacks the specialized equipment and training for these repairs. The vendor was selected through a competitive bidding process, with Auto Body International, Inc. being the lowest responsive bidder among four bids received. Funding for the contract will come from fund 741 for fiscal year 2025-2026, with future funding subject to the annual budget process.
