Title
Seven (7) Ford AWD Utility Police Interceptors - Bid Award
History
The 2018 Fiscal Year Budget includes the purchase of six (6) replacement patrol vehicles for the Police Department. Legal notice for the six (6) Ford AWD Utility Police Interceptors was posted on the Village’s website on Tuesday, January 23, 2018. Five (5) sealed bids were opened by the Village Clerk’s office on Tuesday, February 6, 2018 (bid tab attached).
In comparison the same SUV was priced utilizing the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC). The SPC awarded contract #152 to Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois in the amount of $27,915, which is $1,063 below the lowest bid price.
Based on this evaluation, staff recommends rejecting all the bids submitted for the six (6) Ford AWD Utility Police Interceptors and award the purchase, utilizing the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative, to Currie Motors of Frankfort, Illinois at a cost of $167,490. Currie Motors can deliver in 12-14 weeks after receipt of order.
On February 19, 2018, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration. However, on February 27, 2018 a police vehicle was involved in a car accident and sustained a substantial amount of damage such that the vehicle cannot be repaired. Staff is recommending the purchase of a seventh (7) vehicle. Staff has confirmed that Currie Motors will hold the same price for the additional vehicle. Funding for the additional vehicle will be from the insurance fund.
