<br /> <br /> <br />Capital Improvement Project <br />2026 through 2030 <br />PROJECT # CW-43 <br />PROJECT NAME: #318 Marked Patrol Vehicle <br />Project Year: 2027 <br />Department: Police <br />Program: Citywide <br />Project Type: Vehicles <br />Useful Life (Years): 5 <br />Contact Person: Public Safety Director <br /> <br />Project Description: <br />Replace 2021 Chevy Tahoe patrol vehicle #318 <br />Project Justification: <br />Emergency vehicles are regularly driven at upper performance levels. Vehicles with over 100,000 miles are more likely to <br />have transmission, suspension, and engine problems. Each of these repairs increases the cost per mile to operate the <br />vehicle. <br />Peak mechanical and structural condition of performance-driven emergency vehicles is essential to ensure the safety of <br />the public and officers. Officers are expected to respond to emergencies quickly, with constant due regard for public <br />safety. As such, our emergency vehicles cannot fail. With vehicle age, comes increased risk to the driver and public due to <br />mechanical wear, weathering from exterior parking/storage, and the effects of prolonged salt exposure. <br /> <br />Police patrol vehicles often need to idle when in-service and not parked in an area with shore power due to the <br />temperature sensitive medical equipment and supplies the officers carry, as well as to ensure adequate charging of the <br />squad computer. According to General Motors (2022 Chev Tahoe owner's manual, pg. 391 - extended idle use) each hour <br />of idling is equal to 33 miles. A five-year-old squad car which has approximately 5,900 idle hours, equates to <br />approximately 194,700 additional miles added to the vehicle. <br /> <br /> <br />Funding Sources FY2026 FY2027 FY2028 FY2029 FY2030 Total <br />Capital Equipment Replacement Fund <br />(402) $0 $78,137 $0 $0 $ $78,137 <br />Total $0 $78,137 $0 $0 $0 $78,137 <br />Expenditures FY2026 FY2027 FY2028 FY2029 FY2030 Total <br />Capital Equipment $0 $78,137 $0 $0 $ $78,137 <br />Total $0 $78,137 $0 $0 $0 $78,137 <br />116 <br />Page 230 of 406
