<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />** Item 3.4.** <br /> <br />. <br /> <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of pOlice~ <br />December 6, 2000 {;/ <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Authorization to Purchase Police Vehicles <br /> <br />This is to inform the City Council that we have received quotes for the purchase of a <br />Community Service Officer (CSO) vehicle and a vehicle for the patrol sergeants. <br /> <br />In regards to the CSO vehicle, we received a quote from Elk River Ford for a 2001 Ford R15 <br />Ranger Supercab in the amount of $19,866.35. A second quote was received from Saxon <br />/~Motors for a 2001 Chevrolet 5-10 Extended Cab Pickup in the amount of $18,927.48. We <br />also received quotes for an 5-10 Blazer and a Ford Explorer; however, we determined that a <br />pickup truck would work well for the Community Service Officers and would save us about <br />$5,000.00. Therefore, I am requesting authorization to purchase the Chevrolet 5-10 pickup <br />from Saxon Motors. If this is approved, we will need to purchase a topper. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Regarding the sergeants' vehicle, we had discussed purchasing a four-wheel drive vehicle <br />with the City Council a few months ago. We have received quotes from Elk River Ford for a <br />2001 Ford Excursion in the amount of $31,293.00 and from Saxon Motors for a 2001 <br />Chevrolet Suburban in the amount of $33,560.46. Therefore, I am requesting authorization <br />to purchase the 2001 Ford Excursion. <br /> <br />For Council information, I want to remind you that as was agreed upon at the budget <br />meeting a couple of months ago, anything over the $30,000.00 level for the purchase of the <br />sergeants' vehicle would come out of forfeiture funds. <br /> <br />If the Council has any questions in regards to this purchase, please give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ:rsm <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway.
