BILL O'ROURKE, CHIEF OF POLICE
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASE OF TWO (2) 2005 FORD CROWN VICTORIA SQUAD CARS
THROUGH THE STATE COOPERATIVE PURCHASING PROGRAM.
Historv: The Police Department requests the Council's approval to
order two squad cars that have been previously approved and adopted
in the 2005 Budget. Each year, with the purchase of new squads, the
Police Department rotates older models to other City departments,
(i.e. Building Inspections, Fire Department) thus getting extended use
from the vehicles. Older vehicles are then disposed of. This year,
due to an increase in authorized officers and coverage on various
shifts, we will only rotate one vehicle to other uses within the City
departments.
As with most metropolitan communities, the City purchases these
vehicles through a State Cooperative Purchasing contract. Under this
arrangement, the State prepares specifications, which reflect the needs
of the police agencies, and solicits bids for their procurement. Once
the bid is awarded, the participating cities purchase their vehicles
using the State bid pricing. Superior Ford, in Plymouth, has received
the government bid for the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
vehicles.
The new Crown Victoria Police Interceptors for 2005 are $20,368.00
each for a total of $40,736.00 for the two new squads. The
Department budget contains $44,000.00 for the purchase of these
vehicles.
(1) Adopt Resolution OS-XX authorizing the purchase of two 2005
Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors using the State Cooperative,
bid.
(2) Deny approval and direct further action.
