SUBJECT: REVIEW STAFF'S RESPONSE TO QUESTION RAISED AT THE JUNE 20, 2017
MEETING REGARDING CHECK#103370 DATED MAY 18, 2017 IN THE AMOUNT
OF $2,551.06 TO RUSSO AUTO BODY.
At the June 20th Finance Committee meeting, committee members inquired about utilization of an auto
body shop in Pittsburg named Russo's which is out of the service area. Russo was the lowest quoted
estimate on CSO's latest auto body job. Mikes Auto Body in Walnut Creek quoted $3,351.86 and
Walkers Auto Body in Concord quoted $2,721.05. Russo Auto Body's quote came in at$2,551.06, which
is $169.99 less than Walkers Auto Body.
There are several other reasons Russo was chosen. Russo comes out to provide an estimate and the
other body shops mentioned do not; vehicles must be taken to their location. Russo also will pick staff up
and drop them off when the vehicles is dropped off or staff needs to return and pick the vehicle up.
Therefore, with the others, it would take two staff members every time to pick up or drop off a vehicle.
Russo also provides the quickest turn around. We suggest obtaining a blanket purchase order with Russo
to save cost.
