The Ford Interceptor Utility vehicle is offered at the state contract price from Nelson <br />Auto Center in Fergus Falls of $25,309, which is only $1900 above the base price of the <br />Ford Interceptor Sedan priced at $23,417. The addition of some necessary options <br />should increase the total cost to $25,746. The slight cost increase comes at a <br />reasonable value for the versatility offered with this type of vehicle. The equipment <br />setup costs and graphics installation for this utility vehicle will be much higher, with an <br />estimated total at $10,100, plus the $2,300 cost for the light bar and siren control <br />system. Set-up costs are higher due to the necessity of purchasing all new equipment, <br />rather than using any existing emergency equipment on hand that is not compatible for <br />this new utility vehicle. <br />The Chev Impala is being offered at the state contract price from Polar Chevrolet at <br />$18,262. The estimated setup costs which include a new mobile radio are <br />approximately $6,200. <br />The total purchasing costs and setup amounts still come in at or below the budgeted <br />amount of $62,000. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends authorizing the purchase of one 2014 Ford Police Interceptor utility <br />vehicle and one 2014 Chev Impala Sedan including all setup costs and the sale of one <br />older Ford Crown Victoria squad car through the Admin Minnesota State Surplus <br />Services auction. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Thomas Kinney <br />Chief of Police <br />
