Explanation

Background:
This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order to Statewide Ford Lincoln Mercury, Inc. for the purchase of twenty (20) fully equipped Crown Victoria Police Interceptors for the Division of Police. Formal bids were received by the Purchasing Office on April 19, 2007 for the purchase of marked police cruisers via SA002365. The Division of Police would like to use this bid for the purchase of twenty (20) police cruisers. In May 2007, City Council approved the purchase of 41 marked police cruisers at a total cost of $1,659,934, using funds from both the Safety Staffing Contingency Fund ($1,000,000) and the Fleet Management Division's 2007 General Fund vehicle allocation ($659,934). The City plans to take possession of these vehicles in September.

Additional Need: Due to the need to use various funding sources for this purchase, appropriations, new projects, and transfers will be needed.

Contract Compliance: Statewide Ford Lincoln Mercury, 34-1748921; expires 4/16/09

Emergency Designation: Emergency action is necessary so that the purchase order for these vehicles can be issued as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the manufacturer's current bid pricing which expires September 15, 2007. In addition, ordering these vehicles now will ensure their arrival in time for the anticipation of the 2008 Strike Force Initiative.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this purchase will come from the Permanent Improvement Fund, Public Safety Initiative Fund, Photo Red Lights Fund, and the Special Income Tax Fund.
