PURCHASE OF four (4) 2001 Ford Crown Victoria Police sedans
FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT

 

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that Council:

• Authorize the purchase of four (4) new Ford Crown Victoria black and white police sedans from Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra, California.

 

BACKGROUND

Police Department vehicles are part of the inventory of the Equipment Replacement Fund. For the current 2001/2002 fiscal year, four (4) black and white police vehicles are scheduled for replacement (three Crown Victorias and one Chevrolet Caprice). In February 2001, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department awarded Wondries Ford in Alhambra the open competitive bid to supply their department with the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors (black and white police cars). The high volume purchases made by the Los Angeles County sheriffs Department allow for the lowest possible acquisition cost for these vehicles. Wondries Ford in Alhambra bid the lowest price and was awarded the bid for $22,891 for each vehicle. This bid price is also available to the Hermosa Beach Police Department. All vehicles are ordered as part of Los Angeles county Bid #205455 with the equipment as indicated with the option of power seats added at $321.00 extra per vehicle. It is recommended that Council authorize staff to purchase these vehicles from Wondries Fleet Group of Alhambra for $23,212.00 each (includes the power seats).

 

FISCAL IMPACT

The funds required for the replacement of this vehicle have been accumulated in the Equipment Replacement Fund for the current 2001/2002 fiscal year. ($100,275.84 includes sales tax)
