Title/Name/Summary
Replacement of Prisoner Transport Vehicle Purchase - SPC Award
History
The 2019 Fiscal Year Budget includes rollover funds for the replacement of a 2000 model year prisoner transportation vehicle for the Police Department. It is staff’s recommendation to utilize the SPC (suburban purchasing cooperative) contract #150 for the purchase of the van with installed prisoner transport insert equipment from Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois for a 2020 Ford Transit-350 AWD medium roof van in an amount not to exceed $61,800.22. Currie estimates 25 weeks at this time for the delivery of the van plus the installation of the prisoner insert equipment package. The prisoner insert will have three separate compartments with climate control, video, and audio. Staff visited a nearby police agency that has a comparably configured unit. The agency gave positive feedback and recommends the AWD (all-wheel drive) option now that it’s available from the manufacturer.
On November 4, 2019 this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds are available in account # 010-5006-470200 for this purchase.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve utilizing the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative pricing and accept the proposal from Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois for the purchase of one (1) 2020 Ford Transit-350 AWD medium roof van with installed aftermarket equipment, for an amount not to exceed $61,800.22
