8 WHEREAS, Vinnie's Auto Body Shop has been a reliable and responsive vendor providing
9 vehicle repair services for the City of Boynton Beach. The shop is locally based and has
10 demonstrated the ability to perform high-quality repairs promptly, which is critical to maintaining
1 1 the operational readiness of the City's fleet, including vehicles used by Public Works, Utilities, and
12 other essential departments; and
13 WHEREAS, given the volume of vehicular traffic and the high incidence of car accidents in
14 South Florida, the demand for timely collision repairs continues to increase. The region's dense
15 population, year-round tourism, and unpredictable weather patterns create a heightened need
16 for dependable auto body services. This makes it imperative for the City to have access to trusted
17 repair vendors who can accommodate urgent repairs and minimize vehicle downtime; and
18 WHEREAS, allowing the continued and expanded use of Vinnie's Auto Body Shop ensures
19 the City can respond efficiently to vehicle damage, maintain service continuity across
20 departments, and avoid service disruptions caused by prolonged vehicle outages. Vinnie's proven
21 track record, fair pricing, and proximity to City operations make it a valuable resource in
22 supporting the City's fleet maintenance needs; and
23 WHEREAS, this purchase is being procured under the procurement exception Single-
24 Source, as outlined in the City's Procurement Policy. The City has used this vendor for a while, and
25 they have offered the City reasonable rates of $65.00 an hour. While the City does not have a
26 formal contract with this vendor, services are being rendered under Purchase Orders, which serve
27 as the contractual instrument. A formal multi-year agreement is anticipated to be established in
28 the upcoming Fiscal Year through a competitive solicitation, as this is the best practice; and
29 WHEREAS, the City Commission, upon the recommendation of staff, has deemed it in the
30 best interests of the City's citizens and residents to approve a $20,000 increase to the total
31 expenditure for Vinnie's Auto Body Shop, increasing the annual not-to-exceed amount to $70,000
