SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator
SUBJECT: Agreement with DFC, Inc., dba Advanced Helicopter Services for Aircraft Maintenance Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement with DFC, Inc., dba Advanced Helicopter Services, for aircraft maintenance services for the Sheriff's Office aircrafts consisting of two MD500E, one MD530F helicopters and one Cessna T206H airplane, effective August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2026 not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a three-year base contract and two optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $4,000,000.
REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. On January 15, 2021 the County of Fresno Purchasing Division issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) which solicited proposals to provide aircraft maintenance for the Sheriff's Office Air Support Unit located at the Fresno Yosemite International Airport. The Air Support Unit currently operates two MD500E, one MD530F helicopters and one Cessna T206H airplane. DFC, Inc., dba Advanced Helicopter Services (AHS), is the recommended vendor to provide aircraft maintenance to the Sheriff's Air Support Unit because it was the only vendor that submitted a bid to the RFQ. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There are no viable alternative actions. AHS was the only vendor that submitted a bid to this RFQ. If the recommended action is not approved, the Sheriff's Air Support Unit would not be able to obtain an aircraft maintenance services agreement with AHS.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. The Agreement is in the amount of $4,000,000. Funding for this Agreement is included in the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator's FY 2020-21 Adopted Budget for Org 3111 and will be included in future requested budgets.
