CITY OF WANNEROO : REPORT NO H10701
TO:TOWN CLERK
FROM:CITY ENGINEER
FOR MEETING OF:TECHNICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE
MEETING DATE:19 JULY 1993
FILE REF:2086
SUBJECT:PLANT REPLACEMENT PROGRAMME
PLANT TENDERS 010, 011, 013 & 01493/94
Council is advised that a number of sedans and station wagons, as listed below, which were not included in the 1992/93 Plant Replacement Programme have recently travelled in excess of 40,000kms. These vehicles are included in the draft 1993/94 Plant Replacement Programme.
Council's policy for changeover of light vehicles is based on 40,000kms and to achieve the optimum trade values, it is desirable to change over vehicles with odometer readings as close to this figure as possible.
On this basis, tenders were advertised on 23 and 26 June for the supply and delivery of:
Tender No
01093/94Two (2) 6 cylinder sedans of 4.0L engine cap.
01193/94Five(5) Four cylinder sedans of 1.6L engine cap.
01393/94Two (2) 4WD four cylinder station wagons of 1.8L capacity.
01493/94One (1) Four cylinder station wagon to 2.6Lcapacity.

01493/94Mitsubishi Magna Wagon 99 071 WN 30195 21.07.92
Tenders closed at 11.00am on 1 July 1993 and are as per the attached schedules. Tenders conforming to Council specification and providing the low changeover are recommended with the following exceptions:
Tender No. 01193/94
The low tender of Skipper Hyundai is not to Council specification as electric rear vision mirrors considered essential for multidriver pool vehicles have not been included as they are not available in this model. If these mirrors were available, then a further $350.00 per vehicle would need to be added to the changeover price of the Skipper Hyundai submission giving a total of $7,338.00.
The recommended retail price of the Hyundai Excel sedan is also $3,787.00 per vehicle less than that of the Ford Laser and this difference at purchase would be reflected at resale. Hyundai Excel cannot be considered in the same vehicle category as all other tenders.
It has been regularly documented in "Fleet Magazine" and other trade magazines that to remain with the more popular makes of vehicles provides the most economic strategy for fleet purchase.
It is in this area that manufacturer's offer the best discount and pricing structure, and within the more popular makes is focused on particular model specifications.
It is in these considerations that recommendation to Council has consistently been in the midrange 1.5/1.6 litre Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi, GMH and Nissan models who between them account for the following market share over the last 5 years:
1988 87%
1989 87%
1990 86.5%
1991 84%
1992 81%
Hyundai, while it is a small vehicle that is gaining some popularity, still creates some nervousness with fleet buyers and while some cost benefit can be realised from the trade of the higher retail priced Ford Laser's at this tender, it may prove that subsequent changeover will result in consistently higher cost.
It would be a more appropriate time for Council to consider the Hyundai Excel when it can boast a greater market share and has found favour with government and hire car fleets than at present.
Tender No. 01393/94
Only one tender has been received to replace Council's Subaru station sedans. This is typical of tenders for this class of vehicle as generally only North Subaru of Wanneroo or Melville Motors are the only tenders received.
On checking the offer made by North Subaru of Wanneroo against "Red Book" pricing, it is advised that the offer made for the trade vehicles is competitive with average dealer's buying prices.
Tender No. 01493/94
The replacement of Council's Mitsubishi Magna station sedan with the Ford Falcon station sedan as tendered by Midway Ford is supported.
The current vehicle is operated by Council's Welfare Section and is involved in the conveyance of the elderly, infirm and on many occasions people with wheelchairs. The larger vehicle is therefore more suited for this purpose. Additionally, it has a greater retail price of $4,300.00 and comes standard with automatic transmission not included in the Mitsubishi Magna. With a price differential of only $800.00 at trade, the Ford Falcon Station Wagon provides the much preferred purchase to Council.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council:
1.endorses the calling of tenders by the City Engineer to expedite the early replacement of sedans and wagons outlined in Attachment 1 to Report NoH10701 in accordance with Council policy on replacement at 40,000kms;
