City Commission Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:: 01/04/2016
Re: Request to Purchase 3 Vehicles Bid No. 2016-008
Submitted For:: Diane Hobley-Burney

SUBJECT:

Approve the Police Department request for the purchase of three new vehicles (2 Ford Explorers and 1 Transit Cargo Van) from Sunrise Ford at a total cost of $74,138.00 pursuant to Bid No. 2016-008, New Vehicles.

SUMMARY:

The Police Department requests the approval to purchase three new vehicles from Sunrise Ford in Fort Pierce. This purchase is necessary to replace current vehicles within the police department's fleet that have extremely high mileage and high maintenance/repair costs. This purchase will help to improve our fleet's efficiency.

Sunrise Ford's quote provides a lower purchase price than the Florida Sheriff's Association/Florida Association of Counties, and Florida Fire Chief's Association State Contract on both vehicle types; therefore, the recommendation is to use the local vendor.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of purchase request.

ALTERNATIVES:

None.

RESPONSIBLE STAFF:

Lieutenant Christopher Bender

COORDINATED WITH:

Lieutenant Christopher Bender
