CITY OF TEMPE
Meeting Date: 3/26/2026  
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Agenda Item: 7B18
ACTION: Approve the utilization of a one-month Sourcewell cooperative contract with National 
Automotive Parts Association (NAPA), a division of Genuine Parts Company, to operate an on-site 
inventory parts store.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of this contract will not exceed $260,000. Sufficient funds have been 
appropriated in the General Fund, Cost Center 3322 (Fleet Services Maintenance), for anticipated 
expenditures during the current fiscal year, contingent upon City Council approval of the City’s annual 
budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the contract utilization.
 
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: (110520-GPC) Sourcewell solicited and awarded contracts 
containing cooperative language, allowing its use by other governmental agencies for the purchase of 
aftermarket auto parts and equipment and the option to contract with NAPA Integrated Business 
Solutions (IBS) to operate an on-site inventory parts maintenance store. Under this agreement, NAPA 
IBS is responsible for all aspects of the on-site inventory parts store, including maintaining established 
inventory of parts, securing special order parts, and providing all personnel to operate the parts store. 
The City’s utilization of this contract involves four full-time NAPA employees (one NAPA manager, one 
NAPA technician assigned to the day shift, one NAPA technician assigned to the night shift, and a NAPA 
delivery driver).
The City has used this on-site inventory parts store model since 2018. Staff is currently negotiating a 
replacement contract that will be presented to council at a future date. In the meantime, staff is 
requesting a one-month continuation of the current cooperative contract. This short-term extension will 
allow staff to finalize negotiations and prepare the new Sourcewell Integrated Supply Agreement for 
Council review.
