Police Department Vehicle Replacement
RECOMMENDATION
embers of the Village Council
It is recommended that the Village support this resolution that would allow the Police
Department to purchase three new Police Vehicles for a total cost of $74,172 dollars.
These new cars will replace three Police cars that are currently being sold as part of the
Vehicle Replacement Program.
BACKGROUND
I
In an effort to replace aging and high mileage vehicles in the Police Department's
inventory, the department sells older vehicles that have accumulated the most mileage on
a yearly basis. After the liquidation of these vehicles, new vehicles are purchased
through the Florida Sheriffs Association & Florida Association of Counties Bid Award
Announcement.
The three Police Vehicles to be purchased are all full sized four door sedans with
extended warranties. The department will benefit from a significant savings by
purchasing these cars from the large Florida Sheriffs Association & Florida Association
of Counties Bid Award Announcement for 2003. Once the vehicles are received, there
will be additional costs to outfit them with associated police and emergency equipment.
The Police Department will be selling the two oldest vehicles in their inventory, two
1997 Ford Crown Victorias. In addition to the selling of these two vehicles, a third 1999
Crown Victoria will also be sold. This vehicle was involved in an accident, was repaired
and painted, and will also be replaced.
All three of the above vehicles to be sold have also accumulated the highest mileage in
the department's current inventory.
