RE: Approve Purchase Pursuant to State of Wisconsin Cooperative Purchase for
Police Vehicles-Police Department($185,435)
BACKGROUND
In the 2014 Police Department operating budget the Common Council allocated $192,600 for the
purchase of police vehicles. The Police Department has determined the following vehicles
models will address this year's needs: six Ford Interceptor Sedans (Patrol Division); one Ford
Fusions (Investigative Services Bureau) and one Ford Transit Connect (Community Services
Operations).
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has determined that Ewald's Hartford Ford holds the State of Wisconsin Department
of Administration contract (#15-07006-201) for Law Enforcement Vehicles. The state contract
price for these 8 vehicles is $185,435. The state contract does not offer a CNG option for the
Interceptor model and the CNG option for the Ford Fusion and Ford Transit is not operationally
feasible for the Police Department's needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this purchase is included in the 2014 Police Department operating budget. Funding
would be charged to A/N#: 100-0211-7210-00000.
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 approve this purchase pursuant to the State of
Wisconsin Cooperative Purchase for Law Enforcement Vehicles for eight vehicles for the Police
Department to Ewald's Hartford Ford, 36833 E. Wisconsin Avenue, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin,
53066 for$185,435.
