CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL
AB# (b,+@ TITLE:
APPROVAL OF PURCHASE OF POLICE MTG. mto2 PATROL SEDANS
DEPT. PCH
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No 200 a l OO &J- , approving the purchase of seven
police patrol sedans from Ken Grody Ford.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Funds are appropriated in the 2001-2002 fiscal year budget to purchase of seven police patrol
vehicles. These units will replace vehicles currently in the fleet that have exceeded the age and
mileage requirements of the City’s vehicle replacement program.
Section 3.28.160 of Carlsbad Municipal Code allows the Purchasing Officer to purchase equipment
through cooperative purchasing programs with the other public agencies when the agency has made
their purchase in a competitive manner. In September 2001 the City of Oceanside received bids for
eleven police patrol sedans. The lowest responsive bid of $20,978.00 per vehicle was submitted by
Ken Grody Ford. This bid included a public agency clause, allowing other governmental agencies to
purchase like units under a Cooperative Purchase Arrangement.
Staff recommends ordering the vehicles with additional options not included on the Oceanside cars.
We include a power driver seat, as we have in the past, along with adjustable pedals to enhance
driver comfort. A new and significant change is the addition of the Ford factory police prep package.
This package includes front and rear strobes in the turn signal assembly, power packs to operate the
strobes and the wig wag headlight flasher, plus all the wiring for the light bar, radio, siren, and other
code equipment. These features have previously been supplied, after purchase, by our contracted
vehicle outfitter. Adding the factory package will speed up the process of putting the cars into service
and has the added benefit of being covered under the Ford factory warranty. The cost of the prep
package will be recouped by eliminating the need for our contracted outfitter to supply these items.
Additional code equipment, such as the light bars, radios, siren controls, consoles, prisoner seats
and barrier cages, will be removed from the out of service vehicles and transferred to the new units
Our price per vehicle with the additional options is $22,731 .OO plus tax.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Unencumbered funds are available in the Vehicle Replacement Capital Outlay Account for this
purchase.
