Zerwas, Chief of police -~.1. <br /> <br /> <br />January 6, 1994 if <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Police Department <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />PURCHASE OF 1994 POLICE VEHICLES <br /> <br />The Elk River Police Department has received two quotes for the <br />purchase of 1994 police squad cars. We received quotes from Elk <br />River Ford and Saxon Motors. <br /> <br />The quote from Elk River Ford was for a 1994 Ford Crown victoria <br />police package squad car per our specifications; Elk River Ford's <br />quote was for $13,836.10 (Thirteen thousand, eight hundred thirty- <br />six dollars and ten cents). <br /> <br />The quote from Saxon Motors was for a 1994 Chevrolet caprice sedan <br />police package squad car per our specifications; Saxon Motor's <br />quote was for $14,581. 00 (Fourteen thousand, five hundred and <br />eighty-one dollars). <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />I also received information on the State of Minnesota Bid for Squad <br />Cars which was awarded to superior Ford for 1994 Ford Crown <br />victorias at a purchase price of $13,788.00 (Thirteen thousand, <br />seven hundred and eighty-eight dollars). <br /> <br />The State bid is $48.10 (Forty-eight dollars and ten cents) cheaper <br />per vehicle than the Elk River Ford quote. The City of Elk River is <br />authorized to buy off of the State Contract; however, I would <br />recommend that we purchase our three (3) police vehicles from Elk <br />River Ford. <br /> <br />The city Council elected to purchase the squads through Elk River <br />Ford last year under similar conditions. If you have any questions <br />in regards to this request, please see me. <br /> <br />TDZjkma <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 · (612) 441-2324 <br />
