CIP Request 2020 (Police) <br /> <br /> <br />#383 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />#383 is a Ford Police Interceptor (Sedan) that was built in May of 2012. It is used as an “unmarked <br />patrol vehicle” by the Public Safety Department. It is well over the 5 year minimum for police vehicles and it <br />will in fact be close to 8 years old by the time a replacement vehicle would arrive to replace it next year. It <br />currently has 100,353 miles. The Minnesota winters have taken it’s toll on it’s undercarriage and it has <br />signifcantly more rust on the structural components than any of the other police vehicles. The rust will only <br />continue to get worse and I would recommend replacement of this vehicle for the 2020 budget year. On top <br />of the significant rust and worn out components, when inspected it was discovered that the coolant reservoir <br />was considerably low on coolant. During our inspection we were unable to find any external coolant leaks at <br />this time. It would take further diagnosis to confirm with certainty, but if this engine is indeed burning coolant <br />it would lead to a very costly and time consuming repair. This vehicle would be my first priorty for <br />replacement in the police fleet. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />78
