<br />Memorandum <br /> <br />ITEM #6.5. <br /> <br />-~/ <br /> <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Thomas D. Zerwas. Chief of Police -0 . <br />September 22, 1999 <br /> <br />. <br />ElI{ <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />Subject: AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE <br />FIVE (5) POLICE PATROL VEHICLES <br /> <br />The police department requested quotes for the purchase of year 2000 <br />model full-sized police vehicles from Elk: River Ford and Saxon <br />Motors. Elk: River Ford was the only dealership to submit a quote. <br />Their quote "W"as $21,211.00 per vehicle. <br /> <br />We also received the bid price for an equivalent vehicle (year 2000 <br />full-sized Ford) of $21,073 from Superior Ford, Brooklyn Park. <br />Superior Ford is contracted through the State of Minnesota Purchasing <br />Group. The City of Elk: River has the ability to purchase through the <br />State contract. <br /> <br />I am, therefore, recommending, as "W"e have done the past several <br />years, to purchase the vehicle(s) locally through Elk: River Ford. I <br />understand the local quote is $138 higher per vehicle; ho"W"ever, as Elk: <br />River Ford is a local business and taxpayer, I feel it is appropriate to <br />. purchase the vehicle(s) from them. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZlkma <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
