On March 09th, 2009 Unit #1422 was involved in a vehicular accident. The vehicle was a total loss. We were not the at fault party in this incident. The police car was hit from the rear by a person who was charged with driving under the influence (DUI).
The Police Department would like to replace this vehicle as soon as possible. The Police Department is requesting to replace this vehicle with funds from the Village's Insurance Fund Account. This vehicle is a 2006 Chevrolet Impala Police Interceptor and would be replaced with one (1) new 2009 Chevrolet Impala Police Interceptor.
The purchase price for this vehicle would be approximately $20,163.06 plus approximately $2,937.00 for the cost of the change-over, lettering and striping for a total cost not to exceed $23,100.06. We have not received any money from the striking vehicles insurance company as of this date. CHUBB, the Village insurance carrier will continue to work to subrogate this claim, if necessary.
This vehicle would be purchased from Bill Jacobs Chevrolet in Joliet, IL. They are the Chevrolet Dealership with the State of Illinois purchase contract, TX # 708-444-2124.
