Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF SIX (6) 2022 FORD INTERCEPTORS FROM TENVOORDE MOTOR CO. IN THE AMOUNT OF $225,518.28.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to contract with Tenvoorde Motor Co. for the purchase of six (6) 2022 Ford Interceptors in the amount of $225,518.28, payable from 250-015-2022-5580, CE250-V2203 (Capital Equipment, Public Administration, Fiscal Year 2022, Capital Equipment; Capital Equipment Fund 250, Police Vehicles).
Statement of Purpose
This resolution authorizes the purchase of six (6) 2022 Ford Utility Police Interceptors for patrol operations at the cost of $225,518.28. This model is equipped with a V6 Direct-injection Hybrid Engine System and is the first-ever police-rated hybrid SUV. The hybrid engine provides the opportunity for significant fuel savings, particularly while the vehicle is idling, as well as a potential 25,000-pound reduction in CO2 output per year, per vehicle.
A 2014-2015 Fleet study found that City vehicle maintenance costs are reduced when units of this type are traded in, repurposed, or auctioned between five (5) and eight (8) years or 100,000 miles. This purchase will allow for the replacement of six (6) retired marked police vehicles.
This purchase is against Minnesota State Contract 158505, Release A-174(5).
