El Rive <br /> r Date: <br /> <br />Police Department Subject: <br /> <br /> Memorandum <br /> <br />Mayor and city Council <br /> <br />Thomas D. Zerwas, Chief of Police <br /> <br />February 9, 1996 <br /> <br />ATV PURCHASE <br /> <br />This is to inform the City Council that the council action on <br />February 5, 1996, to purchase two (2) ATV's should be reconsidered. <br />On February 7, 1996, I received a telephone call from Riverview <br />Sports in regards to their quote. They indicated that they had <br />made several attempts to contact Sergeant Nierenhausen to change <br />their quote because of a concession they had received from Suzuki <br />Corporation. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, Sergeant Nierenhausen was on his days off, so <br />Riverview Sports left messages on his voice mail. I spoke with <br />sergeant Nierenhausen and there were, in fact, messages from <br />Riverview Sports on his voice mail in regards to the ATV's. <br /> <br />I have spoken with City Attorney Peter Beck and he feels it would <br />be appropriate to reconsider the quotes. First off, I have <br />discovered that the original low quote for a Polaris did not <br />include a speedometer which I feel is important. I spoke with Moon <br />Motors and they said it would be an additional $200.00 (two hundred <br />dollars) for the speedometer, which brings their quote up to <br />$10,737.44 (ten thousand, seven hundred, thirty-seven dollars and <br />forty-four cents). <br /> <br />Riverview Sports' quote, with the concession, options and a <br />speedometer is $10,750.00 (ten thousand, seven hundred and fifty <br />dollars). <br /> <br />If the council agrees to reconsider, I would recommend purchasing <br />the ATV's from Riverview Sports in the amount quoted ($10,750.00). <br />City Attorney Peter Beck will be in attendance at the council <br />meeting to assist with proper wording for rescinding the prior <br />council action if you feel it is appropriate. If you have any <br />questions, please give me a call. <br /> <br />TDZ/kma <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
