SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Staff Recommends:
This vehicle is over budget due to the overall price increase of the complete build since quoted in August 2017 for the budget process. The Major Equipment account has funds to cover this $2,735.32 shortfall from the under budget 906M Loader approval on 3/20/2018.
This 2018 Tahoe will be purchased using the GM Government Bid Assist Program. This is a 2018 budgeted item being replaced in accordance with the City’s 10 year Major Equipment replacement schedule.
The base price for this vehicle is $39,410.00. The accessories needed to equip this vehicle as a patrol unit are: Alaska Safety $15,095.00, a new video recording system from PCS Mobile $7612.39, new Motorola radio from Motorola Solutions $4,119.55, winter tires and wheels from GCR $1,640.88, the decals from The Printer for $907.50 and travel expenses for inspection and delivery. CAT Transportation will be used for the freight.
Once the new vehicle is received in the fleet, a cruiser will be evaluated against other vehicles within the cities fleet and will be used to replace another hand me down or surplused.
