El <br /> iver <br /> Police Department Subject: <br /> <br /> Memorandum <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of Police ~J'~ <br /> -/ <br />January 22, 1998 <br /> <br />PURCHASE OF 4-WHEEL PICKUP <br /> <br />The police department budgeted money for 1998 for the replacement of our 1991 Ford Explorer. <br />The Explorer currently has 120,000 miles on it and is starting to show its wear. <br /> <br />We have decided to replace it with a 4-wheel drive pickup with a third door. Our rationale for the <br />pickup is that with a topper, we would still be able to transport animals out of the elements, as <br />well as using the pickup for hauling large police items. The price for a pickup is less than the <br />sport utility vehicle. <br /> <br />The lowest quote received is $21,304.60 (twenty-one thousand, three hundred and four dollars, <br />and sixty cents) from Elk River Ford for a 1998 Ford Fl50 super cab. A quote Was also received <br />from Superior Ford at the Hennepin Contract price which was $21,407.00 (twenty-one thousand, <br />four hundred and seven dollars); netting the City a savings of $102.40 (one hundred dollars and <br />forty cents) by ordering a pickup from Elk River Ford.. <br /> <br />If this meets with council approval, I would like to order as soon as possible. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
