*Item 3.9.* <br /> <br />City of <br /> <br /> t, aver <br /> <br /> Police Department <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Jeffrey A. Beahen, Chief of Police <br /> <br />2-19-04 <br /> <br />Request to order new squad cars <br /> <br />State bids are out for squads and we are requesting permission to purchase three vehicles. <br />We originally had cut this purchase down to just two squads due to the purchase of the new <br />command post. We have discovered however that the squad pricing is very good, and we <br />can acquire three cars for the price of two, and will still have enough funds available to finish <br />the command post. <br /> <br />Our allocated department total for vehicle purchases is as follows: <br /> <br />$87,000 <br />$41,000 <br /> <br />$128,000 <br /> <br />Equipment Certificates <br />Equipment Reserves <br /> <br />Department total <br /> <br />(Originally slated for 3-squads) <br />(Originally slated for motorcycle and <br />unmarked squad) <br /> <br />Our only purchase thus far has been the command post for $38,000. We budgeted in an <br />additional $12,000 for shipping, paint, extras - but were told today that the final cost will be <br />far less than the amended budgeted total of $50,000. <br /> <br />The state bid for police package unmarked vehicles was awarded to Hinckley Chevrolet. Our <br />planned purchases are: <br /> <br />1 - Pursuit package 2004 Chevrolet Impala (unmarked) for patrol sergeants <br /> $17, 422.00 <br />1 - Non-pursuit 2004 Chevrolet Impala (unmarked) for investigations <br /> $14,200.00 <br /> <br />The state bid for marked vehicles is also out, but I would ask that we award the single <br />marked vehicle purchase to Elk River Ford. Their contract pricing is only $90 higher than <br />the State Contract price, and I support keeping our business local when the price difference <br />is that low. <br /> <br /> <br />
