BACKGROUND:
On April 5, 2005, the Board of Supervisors authorized GSD and EHSD to enter into an
interdepartmental agreement (similar to other agencies) allowing GSD to sell surplus County
vehicles to a nonprofit agency and the nonprofit agency to, through a contractual agreement
with EHSD, make these vehicles available to EHSD for the KEYS Auto Loan Program. A
CaIWORKs recipient approved for the KEYS Auto Loan Program would have the option of
purchasing a vehicle from a local car dealership or purchasing a County-supplied surplus
vehicle from the nonprofit agency at a below-market price. EHSD would continue to be
responsible for administration of the KEYS Auto Loan program. The General Services
Department's only role would be toII provide a source of well-maintained surplus County
vehicles for possible purchase by program participants under the KEYS Auto Loan Program.
Subsequent to this authorization, GSD and EHSD entered into the interdepartmental
agreement, and EHSD published a Request for Information (RFI) for non-profit organizations
to apply to serve as the intermediary agency in this program. In addition, EHSD mailed the
RFI to an extensive list of known ni n-profit organizations in the county. The RFI specified that
the agency selected would receive a per-vehicle handling fee. No responses were received to
this RFI.
Meanwhile, EHSD staff learned that several for-profit entities would be interested in serving as
the intermediary for the sale of surplus County fleet vehicles to KEYS loan recipients. These
for-profit entities are licensed automobile dealers that are currently providing some of the
vehicles purchased by KEYS loan recipients.
EHSD and GSD would like to modify their existing interdepartmental agreement allowing the
sale of surplus County vehicles through an intermediary agency to CalWORKs participants
approved by the KEYS Auto Loan Program, by broadening the definition of that intermediary
agency to include nonprofit and for-profit entities.
