BACKGROUND

The approved Fiscal Capital Budget for the Period Ending December 31, 2015 includes $85,500 for the replacement of three Ford Crown Victoria Sedans for the Police Department's Patrol Bureau. The current vehicles are between five and seven years old and have exceeded their useful lives as patrol vehicles.  The Public Works Fleet Services Unit has inspected the vehicles and has determined they are in need of replacement.  The existing vehicles will be treated as surplus in accordance with Village policy.  The proposed replacement vehicles are three 2016 Ford Utility Police Interceptors with All Wheel Drive.  

Staff is proposing to purchase the vehicles through the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC).   SPC is a joint purchasing program for local communities. The SPC represents 143 municipalities in the six-county area of Northern Illinois and is administered through the Northwest Municipal Conference, DuPage Mayors & Managers Conference, the South Suburban Mayors & Managers Conference and the Will County Government League.      

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Village Board award the bid to Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois in the amount of $80,166 for the purchase of three Utility Vehicles for the Police Department's Patrol Bureau and authorize Staff to execute the necessary contracts.
