RE: Approve Cooperative Purchase of Crisis Negotiator Vehicle from LDV Custom
Specialty Vehicles for Police Department ($284,188.00)
BACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $350,000.00 from American Rescue Act (ARPA) funding to
purchase a crisis negotiator vehicle for the Police Department. The new unit will replace a
2002 box truck that must have equipment unloaded to provide usable space for the Crisis
Negotiation team. The new unit will have a self-contained power generator and custom
designed designated work space. The new unit will greatly enhance the overall function of
this specialized team while also improving response time to critical incidents.
ANALYSIS
The Police Department has designed this vehicle via the General Services Administration
(GSA) cooperative contract with LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles. The new unit will come
complete with secured storage, non-secure storage, a self-contained power supply, on-board
HVAC systems and personnel seating/transport. Purchasing has confirmed this purchase is
pursuant to the cooperative purchase exception of our purchasing ordinance. Purchasing has
confirmed the GSA contract # for this purchase is 47QMCA21D000F.
FISCAL IMPACT
Using the GSA cooperative contract the City will realize a $21,878.00 savings from list price for
this vehicle. The total fiscal impact of this purchase is $284,188.00. The Common Council
allocated $350,000.00 from American Rescue Act (ARPA) funding for this vehicle. Remaining
funds allocated for this vehicle will be used to procure equipment and IT components to
complete the unit. This purchase will be charged to A/N#: 02240211 7210 15231 (Motor
Vehicles-PD Crisis Negotiator Vehicle).
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager,
cooperative purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local, state or federal
governmental unit or agency may be made without following a competitive bidding or
quotation process. In accordance with Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code and with approval
by the City Manager, Purchasing recommends the Common Council award this purchase
pursuant to LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles, 180 Industrial Drive, Burlington, WI 53105 for
$284,188.00.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
