PURCHASE OF POLICE MOTOCYCLES FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council:

Appropriate $24,486.15 from the Equipment Replacement Fund for the purchase of three (3) new police motorcycles for the Police Department.

BACKGROUND

Police Department vehicles are a part of the inventory of the Equipment Replacement Fund. For the current 1998/99 fiscal year, two (2) motorcycles are scheduled for replacement. On June 9, 1998 Council approved funding for an additional police motorcycle. The funding for this third motorcycle was raised through private donations and the sale of a surplus 1988 police Harley-Davidson motorcycle. On July 2, 1998 bids were opened as a result of a request for proposal initiated three weeks prior. Two bids were received from V.I.P. Motorcycles of Buena Park and Del Amo Motorsports of Redondo Beach. V.I.P. Motorcycles came in with the lowest bid at $24,486.15 (including tax). Staff recommends that Council authorize the purchase of these motorcycles from V.I.P. Motorcycles of Buena Park.

FISCAL IMPACT

The funds required for the replacement of these motorcycles have been accumulated in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the current 1998/99 fiscal year.
