AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: Correy Farniok Reviewed By: A.Carlson Approved By: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to purchase 2023 squad cars. <br /> <br />2. Background. The police department has budgeted for the replacement of police vehicles in <br />2023 and is requesting to order three vehicles. The police department is requesting to order two <br />2023 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV’s and one other similar police vehicle. The order for the two Tahoe <br />were placed several weeks ago and are waiting to be confirmed when/if approved by Council. The <br />window to place orders was opened for less than a week. Expected deliver for this would be April <br />to June 2023. Two vehicles are currently being held and the order for the remaining police vehicle <br />will take place later in 2023. <br /> <br />These purchases would replace a 2019 Dodge Durango (#258), a 2018 Dodge Charger (#253). <br />All of these vehicles are currently being used and will continue to be used until they are to be <br />replaced. <br /> <br />The vehicles will be sold when decommissioned at the auto action. <br /> <br />3. Cost. The City was able to coordinate with a dealership in Iowa that would accept, place an <br />order and gave competitive pricing. MN state contract pricing has been suspended due to limited <br />availability of police vehicles. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> *plus tax, registration and other miscellaneous fees <br /> <br />4. Funding. This purchase will be funded through the Automotive Equipment line of the police <br />budget. The Automotive Equipment line budgeted $170,000 for the purchase of squads, <br />equipment and set-up of these vehicles. <br /> <br />5. Staff Recommendation. I recommend that we purchase the two new squad cars as <br />described above, the remaining one will be ordered in 2023 when orders are being accepted. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve the purchase of police vehicles for 2023 and the sale/auction of the vehicles <br />that these will replace. <br /> <br />Exhibits <br />A.
