PURCHASE OF DETECTIVE CARS

FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

 

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council:

1. Authorize the purchase of two (2) new police detective vehicles, (one (1) Chevy Impala and one (1) Dodge Intrepid) from Cormier Chevrolet of Long Beach and Claude Short Dodge of Santa Monica.

BACKGROUND

A request for proposal (RFP) was prepared during the month of August to solicit bids on two new police detective vehicles, a Chevy Impala and a Dodge Intrepid. Sealed proposals were received and opened by the deputy City Clerk on August 19, 1999 at 2:00 PM. A total of two bids were received for each vehicle. Cormier Chevrolet and Claude Short Dodge presented the best proposals. The reason for the variety in vehicles is to enable our detectives to conduct undercover surveillances when needed.

FISCAL IMPACT

The funds required for the replacement of these vehicles have been appropriated in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the current 1999/2000 fiscal year. (Chevy - $20,332.76; Dodge - $ 19,465.52 Total: $ 39,798.28)
