The approved 2018 Capital Budget includes $162,600 for the replacement of five Police pursuit vehicles for the Police Department Criminal Investigation Bureau. Two of the five proposed replacement vehicles are 2018 Dodge Charger Pursuit Sedans with rear wheel drive. The other three vehicles are proposed to be Ford Utility Interceptors and are under a separate agenda item for consideration. The current vehicles are all in excess of five years old and have exceeded their useful lives as pursuit vehicles.  The Fleet Unit of Public Works has inspected the vehicles and has determined they are in need of replacement.  The current vehicles will be surplused in accordance with Village guidelines.

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.

Napleton Fleet Group of Oakbrook Terrace, IL is this year's winning bidder for this vehicle.  The Village has worked with Napleton Fleet Group in the past, and found them to be acceptable.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Village Board award the bid to Napleton Fleet Group, of Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, in the amount of $46,658 for the purchase of two Dodge Charger Pursuit Sedans for the Police Department Criminal Investigation Bureau, and authorize Staff to execute the necessary documents.
