Agenda Item Text:

Accept a donation from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office for 4 Ford F150 Trucks and 2 Chevrolet Tahoes in the amount of $348,802.91.

Background:

The Howard G. Buffett Foundation desires to donate four Ford F150 trucks and two Chevrolet Tahoe's to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office.  The Ford F150 pickups will be provided with all equipment and road ready upon delivery to Cochise County.  The Tahoe's will be a monetary donation to Cochise County to purchase the vehicles and equipment through standard procurement procedures.  The value of the four Ford pickup trucks is $266,978.91 with equipment.  The value to the two Tahoes is $81,824.00 with equipment.  These will be replacement vehicles for CCSO allowing those vehicles that are replaced to be re-purposed through Cochise County Fleet Services.  When these donation vehicles reach their life span, they will be replaced by vehicles based on the current standards by Fleet Services.  By accepting these donations, it is a substantial savings to Fleet costs for the coming year.  

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Upon receipt of funding from the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, purchase the two Tahoe vehicles and equipment through standard procurement procedures.  Upon arrival of the four Ford F150 vehicles, process all necessary paperwork to transfer ownership to Cochise County. 

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Not accepting these donations vehicles will be a loss in savings to the Cochise County budget. 

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

If these donation vehicles are approved, please contact Sheriff Dannels so his staff can coordinate with Fleet Services the purchase or acceptance of these vehicles.
