Staff Summary
* Lake County had the need for nine non-standard fleet vehicle replacements that were unable to be procured due to supply chain issues and the lack of a state contract.
* A bid was released in June of 2023 for six vehicles where two local dealerships submitted responses but were ultimately deemed as non-responsive and non-awarded.

* Pursuant to Section 33.067 of the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, the emergency procurement was deemed necessary to minimize serious disruption in services and operations.
