SUMMARY:

The City of San Luis Police Department is seeking approval for the purchase of one (1) new 2026 Ford Explorer. The new vehicle will be assigned to the San Luis Police Department Patrol Division in order to replace vehicles over 10 years old or over 100,000 miles, and is scheduled to be decommissioned.

Purchase of Equipment to up-fit Vehicles
The explorer will be fully equipped and marked by Waltz Outfitting using City of Chandler contract #PD5-055-4859, which provides a cost reduction from the state dealership contract. The quotes provided to fully equip the new vehicle will total $32,384.08.
Total Purchase
The total purchase amount for the vehicle and the equipment will be $82,480.93.
San Luis City Code-Purchasing
The equipping and marking of the vehicle comes under the San Luis City Code-Purchasing, Section 3.05.090 Cooperative Purchasing, since it is using the City of Chandler contract #PD5-055-4859 for the equipping of the vehicles and Arizona State Contract #CTR059322 for the purchase of the vehicle.
