ORONO POLICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Dale: 03/14/05 Item No: MAR I 4 2005 Cl rv UK OHO.VU Department Approval Administrator Reviewed: Name: Title: Kurt Frickson Sergeant Agenda Section: Item Description: Authorize Payment and Set Up for New Squad Cars Exhibits: None DISCUSSION: At the October 11,2004 council meeting the City Council authorized the sending ofletters of intent to purchase replacement squad cars. These letters were sent in order to secure 2004 pricing and meet the manufacturers order cut-off dates. Those cars have now been delivered and the police department would like council authorization to make payment for them and proceed with setting tliem up for police use by installing the needed equipment such as emergency lighting and radios. Two of the cars were purchased from Hinckley Chevrolet. These are Chevrolet Impalus. They are unmarked police cars replacing the current unmarked squad cars. The cost of these two cars is $37,126.10 ($18,563.05 each). The other car is from Superior Ford. It is a standard Crown Victoria black and white patrol car. The cost of this car is $22,584.00. This car is replacing a cun ent full marked squad car. The cost to set up the new unmarked cars is $2,431 each and the cost to set up tlie new marked car is $4,800. 'fhe set up will be done by Strcichers Emergency Vehicle Services (EVS). EVS has done good work for us in the past. EVS is also including a five year wananty at no additional cost. 1 here will be other incidental costs such as tear down of the old cars, unexpected repairs to transferred equipment, etc, that are not currently known. These costs will be with EVS. It is expected the incidental and unknown cost at this point would not exceed $1,000. The total EiVS package should not exceed $10,662. The total cost of purchase and set up should not exceed $70,372.10. This is under the 2005 budgeted amount, fherc was a cost savings by buying intermediate sized cars for unmarked use versus buying the full size car for patrol use.
