- Submitted For:
- Diane Hobley-Burney
SUBJECT:
Approval to purchase a 2016 Ford Transit cargo van from Sunrise Ford and installation of shelving from Advanced Work Van Interiors for the Police Department Crime Scene Unit in the total amount of $25,513.50.
SUMMARY:
The Police Department requests approval to purchase a 2016 Ford Transit cargo van from Sunrise Ford for our Crime Scene Unit. This van will be used by Crime Scene personnel to respond to crime scenes that require processing. The current van being used by our Crime Scene Unit is 16 years old, has over a 160,000 miles on it, has extensive rust and paint peeling, and is too small for their needs.
Sunrise Ford's purchase price is $1,232 more than the Florida Sheriff's Association State Contract quote from Duval Ford in Jacksonville, FL. We recommend purchasing this vehicle from Sunrise Ford because they can deliver this vehicle in one week compared to Duval Ford's delivery date of 12-14 weeks. In addition, Sunrise Ford is our local dealer and is an excellent community partner.
