Office of Contracting and Procurement
Pursuant to section 202(c) of the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, as amended, D.C.
Official Code 2-352.02(c), the following contract summary is provided:
COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY
(Sole Source)
(A) Contract Number: CW90644
Proposed Contractor: Pacifico Ford, Inc.
Contract Amount: $1,298,448 (Minimum)
$2,308,352 (Maximum)
Capital Funding
Unit and Method of Compensation: $144,272 price per vehicle
Term of Contract: Date of award through one year thereafter
Type of Contract: Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity
Source Selection Method: Sole Source
(B) For a contract containing option periods, the contract amount for the base period and for each
option period. If the contract amount for one or more of the option periods differs from the
amount for the base period, provide an explanation of the reason for the difference:
This contract does not have option periods.
(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:
The Contractor shall provide a minimum of nine and up to a maximum of 16 light plow crew cab
snow trucks to the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) that will be used for snow removal
during the snow season.
(D) The date on which a competitive procurement for these goods or services was last conducted,
the date of the resulting award, and a detailed explanation of why a competitive procurement
is not feasible:
1
 On October 6, 2020, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) issued an Invitation for Bids
No. Doc530976 on an open market after search for certified business enterprises under NIGP
commodity codes 765-61-00 (Snow plows and/or snow wings, vehicle mounted) and 072-02-22
(Truck, pick-up, crew cab, full size, 6 passenger, gasoline and diesel) resulted in zero CBE. On
October 14, 2020, OCP applied for a waiver for the 35% mandatory subcontracting requirement. The
IFB ended on October 22, 2020 with one vendor, Pacifico Ford, Inc., responding to the
solicitation. Subsequently, the Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD)
approved the waiver request on November 12, 2020. As the waiver needed to be obtained prior to
receipt of bids, award could not be made. The Contracting Officer cancelled solicitation Doc530976
due to the error in the procurement process.
The District is still in need of the vehicles that were sought through the solicitation. The vehicles are
still available through the proposed contractor who is the only vendor capable of providing the 2021
year vehicles within the Districts timeline as production of the 2021 vehicles has ceased. Ford Motor
company has confirmed that production of the 2022 vehicles will not begin until June/July 2021 with
a build time of no less than 22 weeks. Once manufactured, additional time would be required for
upfitting to the District specifications. The total build time would exceed the Districts timeline and
leave the District without equipment critical to its snow operations this upcoming winter.
Given this, it is hereby determined that it is not feasible and practical for the District to invoke the
competitive solicitation.
(E) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including whether the
protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the protestor, or voluntary
corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the protestor, the grounds alleged in
the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the District as a result of the protest:
There was no bid protest.
(F) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its organization,
financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current government or private sector
contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:
The contractor which started its operation in 1920 in South Philadelphia has become successful in
selling and servicing automobiles in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. The contractors
operation is now being conducted at the Philadelphia Airport Auto Mall, complete with a state-of-
the-art body shop, complete sales and service at the commercial truck center and a detail department
and public carwash. Pacifico Ford, Inc. satisfactorily provided the City of Philadelphia pickup trucks
and cab chassis of various configurations in the estimated amount of $30 million for the period of
2016 to 2020. Pacifico Ford, Inc. also satisfactorily provided PECO Energy, an Exelon Company,
their needed vehicles, automotive parts and maintenance services in the amount of $4 million each
year from 2017 up to present. Project managers from the City of Philadelphia and PECO Energy
indicated that the contractor did an excellent job in delivering vehicles and parts on time and very
knowledgeable about the products and services they supply.
