AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION

CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR SQUAD
CAR THROUGH THE STATE COOPERATIVE
PURCHASING PROGRAM.
..
DISCUSSION: Introduction: The Police Department requests the Council's
approval to order a squad car through the State Cooperative
Purchasing contract. Through this contractual agreement 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.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
History: A Prior Lake Police Department squad was involved in
an accident on May 13, 2005, at Duluth St. and Co. Rd. 21. The
driver of the other vehicle pulled out from the stop sign and struck
the squad car on the front passenger side. The squad was a 2003
Crown Victoria and was totaled as a result of the accident.
The 2005 Crown Victoria is $20,514.00. The City should recover
the value of the totaled squad car (approximately $10,500.00) from
the other driver's insurance company.
ALTERNATIVES: (1) Adopt Resolution OS-XX authorizing the purchase of the squad
using the State Cooperative Purchasing contract.
(2) Deny approval and direct further action.
