Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Fleet Management Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the purchase of six (6), hybrid Toyota Sienna vans in the total amount of $222,810.00 and that authorization be given to issue a purchase order to the TIPS cooperative vendor, Silsbee Ford for Houston Police Department.
