Replacement of Police Vehicles Purchase - Proposal
History
The 2024 Fiscal Year Budget includes funds for the replacement of police vehicles. Vehicles and Equipment has developed a long-term vehicle replacement plan that includes the replacement of seven (7) police vehicles for FY24.
The 2024 list includes four (4) unmarked Investigator vehicles, two (2) Tactical vehicles, and one (1) Traffic vehicle.
Due to the shortened manufacturing run of the 2024 model year (MY) Ford Police Utility Interceptors, the order banks for the MY24 Explorers did not open, and the existing ordered MY23 Explorers were pushed into the MY24 production. As such, the Village was unable to spec and order any MY24 Police Utility Interceptors and would have to order MY25 Interceptors to replace the vehicles that are scheduled for replacement in 2024. The MY25 has a significant price increase from MY24.
The Village received information from Sutton Ford that there are MY24 Utility Interceptors available that meet the Village’s specifications for police vehicles. Sutton Ford of Matteson, Illinois currently holds the State contract for Ford Police Utility Interceptors.
All of the vehicles have been built or have a scheduled build date and will be delivered to the Village in 2024.
The replaced vehicles will be assessed for repurposing or sold at auction. Repurposed vehicles will replace older fleet vehicles that will then be auctioned.
It is staff’s recommendation to utilize the Illinois State Contract #22-416CMS-BOSS4-P-41049 for the purchase of four (4) 2024 Administrator Police Utility Interceptors for $42,121.00 each and three (3) 2024 Patrol Police Utility Interceptors for $41,287.00 each for a total amount of $292,345.00 from Sutton Ford of Matteson, Illinois.
This agenda item is being considered by the Committee of the Whole and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
