Unmarked Police Vehicle Purchase (Ptepared by Dublin police staff) ~ehicle specifications (1) Authorize staff to solicit pids for one (1) Unmarked police Vehicle and transfer of emergency equipment. EXHIBITS ATTACHED : lIBCOJIIIEHDATIOHS ~ : FINAHCIAL STATEMENT : Estimated purchase of vehicle and transfer of emergency equipment - $14,500. The cost of replacing vehicles is funded from the Internal Service Fund plus salvage value from replaced vehicle DESCRIPTION : The Chief of 'Police's unmarked vehicle is in need of replacement. The vehicle was purchased by the City in 1990 from Hertz rental agency. It was a one year old vehicle at the time of purchase. The vehicle is fully amortized and has reached 90,000 miles. The City has historically purchased unmarked vehicles that are one year old. This allows the City to bypass the large first year depreciation that is typical of vehicle purchases. The vehicles are well maintained and come with a 12 month/12,OOO mile warran~y on the power train. Staff recommends that the City solicit bids to purchase an unmarked police vehicle. Typically, these are one year-Old rental vehicles from major rental agencies and have less than 30,000 miles on them. Recently, new car dealers have offered similar proposals on returned leased vehicles. The vehicles are typically mid-size; minimally equipped with a V-6 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning, radio and body trim. Buick LeSaber, Pontiac Bonneville, Ford Taurus plus other makes fall within this category. In accordance with the city's purchasing ordinance, the purchase of police vehicles should be the result of a competitive bid. All emergency equipment from the existing vehicle will be transferred to the new vehicle. ..-.... 4.2 CITY CLERK FILE ~ . .\ -- - CITY OF DUBLIN SPECIFICATIONS FOR USED AUTOMOBILES SCOPE: This specification describes the city of Dublin requirements for used 1994 model year passenger vehicles.
