AGENDA ITEM <br />Item No.: <br />Date: January 27, 2020 <br />Item Description: Authorization to purchase 2020 Squad Cars <br />Presenter: Correy Farniok Agenda Consent Agenda <br />Police Chief Section: <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to purchase 2020 squad cars. <br />2. Background. The police department has budgeted for the replacement of four vehicles in <br />2020 and is requesting to replace these vehicles in the next several months. The police <br />department is requesting to order 2020 Dodge Durango AWD police SUV's. The order <br />for these vehicles would need to be placed prior to the March 2020 cutoff, because placing <br />an order prior to the deadline allows the department to build the police vehicles with <br />options specifically needed by the police department and guarantees contract pricing. <br />Vehicles purchased after March 2020 are limited to stock on hand by individual <br />dealerships; specific options and colors may be difficult to get and pricing is subject to <br />change by the dealership. We would like to place the order in February and expect delivery <br />in April/May. Set-up of these vehicles (lights, emergency equipment, etc.) can be from 3- <br />4 weeks depending on availability of equipment and the vendor. <br />These purchases would replace a 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicle (#242), a <br />2016 Dodge Charger (#244), a 2016 Dodge Charger (#246) and a 2016 Ford Police <br />Interceptor Utility (#248). All of these vehicles are currently being used and will continue <br />to be used until they are to be replaced. <br />Vehicle #242 would be sold to New Richland Police Department for $11,000. (Agreement <br />attached). The remaining vehicles will be sold when decommissioned to Dodge of <br />Burnsville or at the auto action. <br />3. Cost. The City is using the state contracted pricing for the purchasing of these vehicles. <br />Dodge of Burnsville will be used for the purchasing of these vehicles. <br />Dealership <br />Make <br />Model <br />Quote <br />Dodge of Burnsville <br />Dodge <br />Durango AWD <br />$30,950* each <br />*plus tax, registration and other miscellaneous fees <br />4.
