BILL O'ROURKE, CHIEF OF POLICE
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION OO-XX
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF TWO (2) 2000
FORD CROWN VICTORIA SQUAD CARS.
The Police Department request the Council's approval to order squad
cars that have been approved and adopted in the 2000 Budget.
History
Each year, with the purchase of new squads, the Police Department rotates
two of it's older models to other City departments; i.e., Building Inspections
and Engineering, thus getting extended use from the vehicles and ensuring
dependability and reliability of our primary emergency response vehicles.
As with most metropolitan area communities the city purchases these vehicles
through cooperative purchasing with Hennepin County. Under this arrangement the
county prepares specifications which reflect the needs of metropolitan police
agencies and solicits bids. Once the bid is awarded the participating cities purchase
their vehicles using the county bid prices. Again this year, Superior Ford has
received the Government bid for police vehicles. These specially designed police
cars are manufactured once a year with a normal deadline for ordering occurring in
late February.
Current Circumstances
The approval of this purchase will allow the Police Department to rotate a
squad with over 100,000 miles and another with approximately 85,000
miles out of police service for use by other city departments.
The new Crown Victorias are $20,894.00 each, for a total of$41,788.00, up from
$41,450.00 last year. The Department budget contains $45,000.00 for the two
vehicles.
