AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: Correy Farniok Reviewed By: DJR Approved By: DJR Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to purchase the 2019 squad cars. Background. The police department has budgeted for the replacement of four vehicles in 2019 and is requesting to replace these vehicles in the next several months. The police depart ment is requesting to order either 2020 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicle or 2019 Dodge Durango AWD police SUV’s. The order for these vehicles would need to be placed prior to the March 2019 cutoff, because placing an order prior to the deadline allows the department to build the police vehicles with options specifically needed by the police department and guarantees contract pricing. Vehicles purchased after March 2019 are limited to stock on hand by individual dealerships; specific options and colors may be difficult to get and pricing is subject to change by the dealership. We would like to place the order in February and expect delivery in April/May for the Dodge Durango and August for the Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles. Set-up of these vehicles (lights, emergency equipment, etc.) can be from 3-4 weeks depending on availability of equipment and the vendor. Ford is redesigning and making improvements to the 2018 model and will have a 2020 model available in mid to late 2019 for delivery. Price is not known, but have indicated a price increase of $2,500-$6,000 per unit. Due to the uncertainty of pricing and when the Fords will be available, we are considering the 2019 Dodge Durango AWD. These purchases would replace a 2014 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicle (#232), a 2015 Dodge Charger (#243), a 2014 Dodge Durango (#235) and a 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility (#245) or a 2012 Kia Serento (#239). Vehicle #235 is projected to have 105,000 and 110,000+ miles. Vehicle #239 currently has 128,500 miles. Vehicle #232, #245 and #243 are projected to have 85,000 – 95,000 by August/September, plus several thousand idle hours, when delivery and set up is expected to be completed. All of these vehicles are currently being used and will continue to be used until they are to be replaced. St. Cloud Driving School is interested in purchasing vehicle #232, #243, #245 and #235 and will give competitive pricing to include the police emergency lighting that would save the city the cost of removing the police graphics, emergency lighting and equipment. Vehicles that are not purchased by St. Cloud Driving School will be sent to an auto auction. Cost. The City is using the state contracted pricing for the purchasing of these vehicles. Waconia Ford and Dodge of Burnsville will be used for the purchasing of these vehicles. *plus tax, registration and other miscellaneous fees Funding. This purchase will be funded through the Automotive Equipment line of the police budget. The Automotive Equipment line budgeted $160,000 for the purchase of squads, equipment and set-up of Item No.: 5 Date: January 28, 2019 Item Description: Authorization to Purchase Squad Cars Presenter: Correy Farniok Police Chief Agenda Section: Consent Agenda Dealership Make Model Quote Waconia Ford Ford Interceptor SUV $29,962* Does not include price increase of 2500-6000 Dodge of Burnsville Dodge Durango AWD $29,425* each
