Staff received notification of an opportunity to purchase new 2013 Chevrolet Caprice police package sedans, with full manufacturer warranty from a dealership in MA at a significantly reduced cost of $18,999 each, which represents a savings of over $8,000 per vehicle when compared to current year pricing. There will be one-time additional costs to outfit the patrol cars, with lights/sirens, paint, cages, radio changeover, etc estimated at $6,500 per vehicle. The Finance Committee reviewed and approved the request to purchase four of these vehicles. As funding for one vehicle is available from existing TSA Bomb dog grant funds, this resolve will appropriate the funding for only three patrol vehicles. On January 12, 2015 the Finance Committee recommended passage of the attached resolve.
