RE: Squad Car Purchases
DATE: December 14, 2006
Introduction
Council is requested to authorize the purchase of two squad cars. As provided
in the 2007 budget.
Background
The 2007 budget includes an appropriation of $68,000 for the purchase of two
squad cars. Funding is from the Capital Equipment Internal Service Fund. The
vendor cost for squad cars last year was $22,458 each, including extended
warranty. The new cars will replace models purchased in 2003.
Most of the equipment from the 2003 squads will transfer into the new units.
One new radar unit and two rear seats will be added along with some
miscellaneous lights and wiring for an equipment cost of approximately $5,900
for the two squads. Labor to set up is estimated to be $4,875 each. 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.
