NffEH\U DATE: June 5, 1991
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACIUN- That the City Council adopt the attached resolution to purchase
two Police patrol vehicles from the dealer vkn was awarded the
contract from the ,State of California, Office of Procurement,
as low bidder.
BACKGROUND Il470RMATION The Police Department currently has 18 Dodge Diplomat
sedans in active service as patrol vehicles. VJxn the City
learned that the Diplomat would no longer be produced after
1989, five were purchased in 1988 for $10,211.61 each to
provide us with an adequate "reserve" of vehicles anticipated to last through fiscal
year 1991-92. Three of these were put into service under the Dial -A -Ride program in
November 1990 to meet that program's growing needs and to save money. Ps two other
patrol sedans were retired, they were replaced by the remaining "reserve" units.
The l a,t available unit has my been placed into service.
In the last year, a Police Vehicle Committee, comprised of representatives of the
Police and Public Works Departments, has met numerous times to recommend a
replacement patrol sedan from the present makes and models in production. Of the
limited selection, the Committee's recommendation at this time is the Ford Taus us at
a price of $14,000 each. After lights, siren, radio, and special safety equipment
are purchased and installed, the cost per vehicle tots?; .21,000. These two
vehicles must be ordered now in order to meet their replacement schedule.
R14XNU Since no vehicles were originally scheduled for purchase for 1990-91, no
funds were allocated. Therefore, $42,000 for purchase of two vehicles and support
equipment should be designated from the 12 Equi nt Fund.
