RE: Police Vehicles Purchases
DATE: December 14, 2005
Introduction
Council is requested to authorize the purchase of two squad cars, one unmarked
car and one 4x4 vehicle as provided in the 2006 budget.
Background
The 2006 budget includes an appropriation of $65,800 for the purchase of two
squad cars, $19,500 for an unmarked car and $40,000 for a 4x4 vehicle. Funding
is from the Capital Equipment Internal Service Fund. The vendor cost for squad
cars last year was $21,453 each, including extended warranty. The new cars
will replace models purchased in 2002. The unmarked car is an addition to the
fleet. The 4x4 vehicle will also replace a 2002 squad car and provide
emergency response in inclement weather and rough terrain.
Additional costs include: graphics, communications, light bars, radar units and
other equipment for a total set-up cost of approximately $14,700 for the
squads, $2,700 for the unmarked car and $7,040 for the 4x4 vehicle plus a
repaint charge of $900 (doors) on the 4x4 vehicle to make it a black and white
vehicle. The City mechanic recommends an extended warranty of 3 Yrs/75,OOO
miles on the squad cars due to axle and transmission problems in the past.
The State of Minnesota contract was awarded as shown below for the squad cars
and the unmarked vehicle. Options listed are as requested by the department
and are at manufacturer-to-dealer invoice pricing.
The 4x4 vehicle was not bid on the State of Minnesota contract (due to the E-85
requirement by the State) but is comparably priced and quotes were obtained
from two dealers we had contacted regarding the other State bids. The bids
were as follows: Erickson Chevrolet $31,290.57 and Car/Truck City $30,600.
This vehicle has already been built and is available from a GM distribution
lot.
