<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: August 23, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />RE: Vehicle #617 – Needed Repairs <br /> <br /> <br />During the July 26, 2021 Budget Work Session, staff was directed to provide more information <br />regarding the necessary repairs for Vehicle #617 (2013 Ford Police Interceptor with 93,226 miles). <br />The following repairs are recommended in case the City Council determines that Vehicle #617 not <br />be replaced in 2022. <br /> <br />Replace front lower control arms $800 <br />Replace rear trailing arms $1,600 <br />Replace both axle seals $700 <br />Replace front drivers door panel $660 <br />TOTAL $3,760 <br /> <br />The body work component has not been sent out for estimates. Current issues include rust around <br />the keyhole on the rear hatch, inside of the rear doors, and bottom lip of the hatch. Corrosion is <br />visible of the front lip of the hood. The rust and corrosion is merely cosmetic at this time but it will <br />continue to get worse. <br /> <br />Please note, a common repair on these type of SUV’s is replacement of the Power Takeoff Unit <br />(PTU), which is still original on this vehicle. Brett Olander does not recommend replacement until <br />it fails, but it should be noted that it is a common issue and will likely cost around $2,000. <br /> <br />
