Title
DCEO Grant Vehicle Purchase - Purchase
History
The Police Department applied for and received a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) in the amount of $25,000. The grant was awarded for the purchase of one fully marked police vehicle. Staff is working with Bill Jacobs Chevrolet of Joliet, IL since they were awarded the State Bid Contract.
The total purchase price of the 2009 Chevrolet Impala Police Package will be $20,013.40. The remaining grant funds will be used for the purchase of equipment and installation for this vehicle.
On February 9, 2009, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Safety Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The vehicle, equipment and installation costs will be funded with the award from the DCEO grant award. No funds will be required from the General Fund.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of one Chevrolet Impala police vehicle and the expenses for equipment and installation with the funds from the DCEO Grant award in an amount not to exceed $25,000.
