Eleven (11) police patrol vehicles are scheduled for replacement in
fiscal year 1991-92. If we follow the normal fiscal year
purchasing schedule, these vehicles will not be delivered until the
spring of 1992. The mileage of these eleven vehicles will range
from 121,000 to 132,000 by April, 1992, which is significantly
greater than the policy of replacing patrol vehicles at 80,000
miles.
We have an opportunity to use the existing state CHP bid to
purchase Ford Crown victorias from Downtown Ford in Sacramento at
the current state price. When the current inventory is gone, the
state bid expires. purchasing the vehicles now would eliminate the
problems associated with waiting for the 1992 vehicles. It would
also mean that almost all vehicles in the patrol fleet would be
Crown Victorias, a vehicle the Police Department has found to be
very satisfactory. Having the same vehicle for most of the fleet
should be advantageous for repair and maintenance.
with approval of this resolution, the replacement of the eleven
police patrol vehicles will be removed from the 1991-92 replacement
authorization request.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the appropriation of $192,500
from the Equipment Replacement Fund to purchase eleven police
patrol vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT: There are sufficient funds in the unappropriated
balance in the Equipment Replacement Fund for this appropriation.
