Title, Order
Authorizing Purchase of Five Police Vehicles from Darling's Ford in the Amount of $186,275
In the proposed FY20 budget there is $175,000 to replace 4 patrol vehicles and a services vehicle for
the Police Department. Darlings Ford, located in Bangor, currently has the State contract to
purchase police vehicles. We believe that purchasing our vehicles from the State contract is in the
City’s best interest.
We have received pricing for 5- 2020 Ford Interceptor AWD utility vehicles in the amount of
$186,275, which include the installation of lights, sirens, control boxes, etc Also, one unit will be a
Hybrid.
The current price for all five units is $186,275, which exceeds the approved budget. The approved
budget assumed a mix of sedans and SUVs, however, Ford is no longer offering sedans. Priorities of
capital items will be reordered to fund the additional amount necessary for the patrol vehicles. As
we move through the year, other items may come in under budget allowing us to make up the
difference.
Staff recommendation is to piggyback on the State contract and purchase the police vehicles from
Darling's Ford in the amount of $186,275.
