vehicle fleet.
If this Resolution is approved, Fleet will purchase five Explorers to replace old and high
mileage administrative vehicles throughout the City. The cost for each Explorer is
$38,500 for a total of $192,500. It is anticipated that the vehicles would be delivered to
the City within six months.
Any amounts remaining after purchase of the vehicles will be used to outfit the new
vehicles as needed. d cages, light bars, and radios installed. The
administrative vehicles may need light bars or other equipment installed depending on
the use of the vehicle.
The City typically uses a portion of the Public Safety Sales Tax to purchase new police
vehicles every year to replace high mileage or damaged vehicles in the fleet. Sales tax
revenues are down for 2024. Accordingly, there are insufficient funds in the Public
Safety Sales Tax to allow for the purchase of the needed vehicles. The ARPA funds
were de-obligated from the City Park Tennis Club & Bleachers Project at the November
25, 2024 City Council meeting and need to be re-obligated by December 31, 2024.
There is not enough time to develop a new project. The vehicles have previously
been identified as a need for 2025 and are subject to a state purchasing contract
dispensing with the need to send them out to bid.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $825,882.57 will be paid out of Project Cl2113 - American
Rescue Plan.
