Discussion and possible directions to staff on any and all matters regarding authorization to purchase two (2) new 2018 unmarked police Ford Super Crew XL F150 pick-up trucks using Fiscal Year 2018 Capital Project Budgeted funds.  (Richard Jessup, Acting Chief of Police)

The San Luis Police Department is seeking approval for the purchase of two (2) new 2018 Ford Super Crew XL F150 4x4 pick-up trucks. These trucks would be replacing a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria with over 160,000 miles and a 2006 Chevrolet Impala with over 120,000 miles that are currently in field operation and have proven to be unreliable for police duty or worth investing to further repair. The funds for the purchase of these vehicles were approved as a Fiscal Year 2018 Capital Project to purchase a fully marked Ford SUV police vehicle and a fully marked Ford F150 animal control service vehicle that were under-budgeted by $25,104.36 using Fiscal Year 2018 funds according to quotes received from Peoria Ford, which is the Ford Dealership holding the State Contract # ADSPO17-166117 for police vehicle purchases. With the budgeted amount, there are sufficient funds to purchase two (2) 2018 unmarked Ford Super Crew XL F150 4x4 pick-up trucks through Alexander Ford of Yuma using the City of Yuma purchasing contract  #2013-20000119.  Using the Yuma contract is authorized under San Luis City Code-Purchasing Section 36.09, Cooperative Purchasing.  Alexander Ford provided an individual vehicle quote for a 2018 Ford Super Crew XL 4x4 pickup truck of $38,928.25. The total cost for both Ford F150 pick-up trucks is $77,586.50.
