RE: Squad Car Purchases
DATE: December 18, 2007
Introduction
Council is requested to authorize the purchase of five squad cars. As provided
in the 2008 budget.
Background
The 2008 budget includes an appropriation of $175,000 for the purchase of five
squad cars. Funding is from the Capital Equipment Internal Service Fund. The
vendor cost for squad cars last year was $22,413 each, including extended
warranty. The new cars will replace four models purchased in 2004 and one
additional squad will be added to the fleet.
Most of the equipment from the 2004 squads will transfer into the new units.
One new radar unit and four rear seats and four camera's will be added along
with some miscellaneous lights and wiring for an equipment cost of
approximately $24,800.00 for the four squads. The additional squad will need
all new equipment with an approximate cost of $19,000.00. Labor to set up is
estimated to be $5,625 each. The City mechanic recommends an extended warranty
of 4 Yrs/100,000 miles with a $50.00 deductible beginning in the fourth year,
there is no price increase except the $50.00 deductible over the 3 Yr/100,000
warranty. The warranty is recommended due to axle and transmission problems in
the past.
