County to piggyback Syracuse contract with Enterprise for fleet leasing
Summary
Staff proposed using a Syracuse City School District contract with Enterprise for fleet management and leasing (contract maturity 06/30/27 with up to two one-year renewals); the board approved the piggyback procurement after discussing a comptroller audit that has led counties to change purchasing approaches.
County staff recommended piggybacking a Syracuse City School District contract with Enterprise for fleet management and leasing services, citing good prior experience with Enterprise and recent procurement complexity around some cooperative purchasing vehicles. Staff said the Syracuse contract matures on 06/30/27 and permits two one-year renewals; the board approved the approach by voice vote.
Staff explained that a state comptroller audit raised concerns about certain non-government cooperative procurement vehicles and urged caution; as a result, staff said they are favoring OGS or piggyback options where appropriate. "We have adjusted our procurement practices as a result," staff said, and recommended using the Syracuse contract as a compliant route to Enterprise services. The board moved, seconded and approved proceeding with the Enterprise piggyback arrangement.
Nut graf: The procurement change reflects operational continuity (leasing with a familiar vendor) while responding to a comptroller audit that prompted a reassessment of non‑state cooperative purchase vehicles. Staff will finalize procurement documents and the county will follow required OGS/piggyback rules.
