Title/Name/Summary
Purchase of Five (5) Ford Maverick Trucks for the Emergency Management Agency
History
The Orland Park Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is responsible for the coordination of emergency management programs. The agency performs standard emergency operations for Village departments, the Orland Fire Protection District, and surrounding communities when needed.
EMA requires versatile utility vehicles to support its operations, including equipment transport and response in various conditions. The Hybrid Ford Maverick truck best meets the agency’s needs with ample storage for emergency equipment and a towing capacity of 4,000 lbs. These trucks will enhance the agency’s ability to perform support operations efficiently, providing reliable transportation for personnel and gear during emergency responses, preventative activities, and Village events.
EMA’s current fleet consists of five (5) repurposed Police vehicles with an average age of twelve (12) years, with the oldest being a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe. These vehicles will be auctioned to offset the cost of the new vehicles.
Staff would like to proceed with the purchase of five (5) Ford Maverick Hybrid 4x4 trucks from Sutton Ford of Matteson, Illinois. Sutton is part of the cooperative purchasing group Sourcewell for these vehicles. Upfitting and marking expenses will be added to a future Board of Trustee agenda.
Financial Impact
Funds in the amount of $167,516.25 are allocated in account 3008040-570200 for this purchase.
