TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Jon Urben, General Services Manager
DATE: March 12, 2015
RE: Approve Purchase Pursuant to State of Wisconsin Cooperative Purchase
for 2015 Police Vehicles
BACKGROUND
In the 2015 Police Department operating budget the Common Council allocated $151,300
for the purchase of six police vehicles. The Police Department has determined the
following vehicles models will address this year's needs: four Ford Interceptor AWD 4dr
(Patrol Division); one Dodge Journey (Investigative Services Bureau) and one Ford
Transit Connect (Community Services Operations). Because of a factory deadline of
February 27, 2015 for 2015 Ford Transit Connect orders, the City Manager approved the
purchase of the Ford Transit Connect vehicle on February 24, 2015 for $20,338. With
this purchase there is a balance of$130,962 to purchase the remaining five vehicles.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has determined that Ewald's Hartford Ford holds the State of Wisconsin
Department of Administration contract (#15-07006-400) for Law Enforcement Vehicles.
The total state contract price for the five remaining vehicles is $126,998. The state
contract does not offer a CNG option for the Interceptor and the CNG option for the
Dodge Journey or the Ford Transit was not operationally feasible for the Police
Department's needs.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact of the purchase of these five vehicles pursuant to state contract is
$126,998. There is a balance of $130,962 in the 2015 Police Department operating
budget for these vehicles. 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
�
C�
approve this purchase pursuant to the State of Wisconsin Cooperative Purchase for Law
Enforcement Vehicles for the Police Department to Ewald's Hartford Ford, 36833 E.
Wisconsin Avenue, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, 53066 for $126,998.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
