Title
Replacement Vehicle for Unit #1423 - Purchase
History
On December 25, 2009 Unit #1423 was involved in a vehicular traffic crash. The vehicle was a total loss. This accident occurred as the result of severe icing on the roads when our officer was responding to a two car accident involving injuries.
The Police Department would like to replace this vehicle as soon as possible. The Village's Finance Department has arranged for the vehicle to be examined by the Village's insurance administrator CCMSI. Their adjustor has determined that the vehicle is a total loss. This vehicle is a 2006 Chevrolet Impala with over 97,000 miles on it.
The Police Department is requesting to replace this vehicle with funds from the Village's Insurance fund Account. The damaged vehicle was a 2006 Chevrolet Impala Police Package (9C1) and it would be replaced with a new 2009 Chevrolet Impala Police Package (9C1).
The purchase price for this vehicle would be $20,027.40, plus approximately $2,325.69 for the cost of the damaged equipment, change-over, lettering and striping for a total cost not to exceed $22,353.09.
This vehicle would be purchased from Jacobs Chevrolet in Jolie, Illinois, Tele. # (815) 401-5953. Jacobs is the Illinois Dealership with the State of Illinois purchase contract for the year 2009. Jacobs Chevrolet currently has this vehicle in stock and we can purchase it immediately. If we have to order a new vehicle, we would have to wait for the 2010 model Chevrolet’s to be built in March of 2010.
On January 25, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The Police Department is requesting to replace this vehicle with funds from the Village's Insurance Fund Account #092-0000-499-52.11 at a cost not to exceed $22,353.09.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the transfer of funds from the Village Insurance Fund in the amount of $22,353.09 to cover the cost to purchase and equip one (1) 2009 Chevrolet Impala Police Package vehicle to replace Unit #1423, from Jacobs Chevrolet of Decatur, Illinois.
