ACTION REQUEST
Request the approval for the purchase of thirteen vehicles for the Police Department fleet. (Police Department)
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
The Police Department purchases police vehicles annually to maintain the fleet and eliminate aging vehicles. We have several vehicles that are turning ten years old and becoming mechanically unsound. This year the Police Department is requesting a total of thirteen new police vehicles in the amount of $678,645.00:
1 K9 Ford Explorer police package
5 Patrol Ford Explorers police package
3 Ford F-150 Responder Trucks for Criminal Investigations Division
2 Ford F-150 Responder Trucks for Lieutenants
2 Ford F-150 Responder Trucks for Administration
These vehicles are included in the adopted fiscal year 2022/2023 budget. Due to an increase in the quoted price, a budget amendment will be necessary.
