AGENDA STATEMENT
CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: March 23, 1992
SUBJECT: Police Patrol Vehicle Purchase
(Prepared by James W. Rose,
Chief of Police)
EXHIBITS ATTACHED Vehicle Specifications
RECOMMENDATIONS Authorize Staff to solicit bids for
six (6) marked patrol vehicles and
solicit bids for transfer of
emergency equipment and detailing
to all vehicles.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT Estimated cost per patrol vehicle -
$17,500 (Warranty included).
Estimated cost for transfer of
emergency equipment and detailing
of all vehicles - $9000. (Total
estimated cost - $114,000.00) The
cost of replacing vehicles is funded
from the Internal Services Fund and
the General Fund.
DESCRIPTION Currently the City owns eleven Police
vehicles; eight (8) marked units and three (3) unmarked
vehicles. Based on current mileage of City owned Police
vehicles, five (5) 1989 marked vehicles should be replaced using
funds available in the Internal Service Fund and Internal Service
Fund revenues. In addition, one (1) 1990 marked vehicle was a
total loss, due to an accident, and needs to be replaced. Funds
for this vehicle were budgeted from ISF interest revenues and
$1500.00 from the General fund.
Bumper to bumper extended warranties will expire July 24 , 1992 .
In addition, all 1989 marked vehicles will reach 80,000 miles
before the end of the 1992 calendar year. Major mechanical
problems begin to arise during the 70,000 - 80,000 mile range.
Recently the City has incurred major repairs to 1989 vehicles
such as: engine rebuild, new transmission, and a power steering
pump and gears. The cost of all of these repairs was covered by
warranty but will become the responsibility of the City in July
1992. If the vehicles are not replaced, it is anticipated that
after July, 1992, these types of repairs will become more
frequent in the 1989 marked vehicles, creating a significant cost
to the City in order to continue to have a dependable fleet of
marked emergency vehicles.
As of February 1992 , the following Police vehicles had the below
listed mileage and will be approaching 80 ,000 on the dates
indicated:
VEHICLE # MILEAGE - FEB. 92 EST. 80,000 MILES
D-1 80,894 N/A
D-3 70,335 AUGUST, 1992
D-5 66,130 OCTOBER, 1992

In accordance with the City's purchasing ordinance, the
replacement of Police vehicles should be the result of a
competitive bid. In addition to the vehicle itself,
consideration will be given to the cost/benefit of buying an
extended, bumper to bumper. warranty/service package for each
vehicle. The cost of transferring and replacing all associated
radio and emergency equipment from the old vehicles to the
replacement vehicles and detailing each new vehicle is estimated
at $1500 . 00 per new vehicle.
The Police Department will attempt to have all existing emergency
equipment transferred to the new vehicles. This service is
available from Alameda County Communications, a major vendor and
installer of police communications equipment in Alameda County.
Each vehicle will require two City decals, striping and
lettering.
