Submitted For:

SUBJECT:

Approval to purchase two (2) Ford Interceptor Sport Utility vehicles for the Fort Pierce Police Department K-9 Unit in the amount not to exceed $78,218.00.

SUMMARY:

The Police Department requests approval to purchase two (2) new patrol vehicles for our K-9 Unit. This purchase is necessary to replace current vehicles with excessive mileage, wear, and tear.  This purchase request is for two (2) - 2018 Ford Sport Utility Vehicles (Explorer) in the amount not to exceed $78,218.  These vehicles will be purchased from Bartow Ford (Bartow, FL). The purchase price for these vehicles was obtained from Charlotte County, FL contract Bid No. 2015000418. Charlotte County has authorized the Fort Pierce Police Department to "piggyback" their contract with Bartow Ford. Pricing includes the vehicle, lighting package, siren, and all other necessary police emergency equipment.

RECOMMENDATION:

The police department recommends approval of this purchase request. 

ALTERNATIVES:

The alternative is to deny this request and search for a different vendor to purchase these two (2) vehicles.
