Subject:

Resolution 25-R-009 - Authorizing an expenditure with SAMES Bastrop Ford for the acquisition of 7 police vehicles (B.James/D.Hardin/C.Hernandez)

BACKGROUND

This resolution authorizes the City to spend up to $347,900 for seven 2025 Ford Police Interceptors. These vehicles are to be used by the School Resource Officers. Per the current Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between SCUCISD and the City of Schertz, which was approved by the City Council through Resolution 24-R-64, SCUCISD will reimburse the City of Schertz over a 5-year period for each asset purchased. Since the change in State Law that led to an increase in the number of School Resource Offices required per the ILA, the Police Department has successfully filled all 7 positions and now requires the vehicles. City staff have identified the vehicles and can have them purchased and delivered within 30 to 45 days.
