HUSTON, CITY MANAGER POLICE DEPARTMENT USED VEHICLE PURCHASE SUMMARY In accordance with the City's Purchase of Used Vehicles and Equipment policy, the City Manager has approved issuance of a purchase order for one vehicle to Enterprise Auto Sales. This purchase is for one unmarked vehicle for the Police Department Investigation Section. This vehicle is a replacement vehicle. RECOMMENDATION 1. Authorize the purchase of a 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan at a total cost of $20,398.86. FISCAL IMPACT Total amount budgeted: $29,820.00 Total amount of purchase: $20,398.86 Total savings: $ 9,421.14 BACKGROUND The Police Department has found that purchasing used vehicles with generous warranty protection through reputable dealers has resulted in significant savings to the Vehicle Replacement Fund. The Department has been dealing with Enterprise Auto Sales for more than five years with excellent results, including good price reductions, quality vehicles, and excellent warranty response and after-purchase attention. The City's Purchase of Used Vehicles and Equipment policy requires a staff report to the City Council outlining the fact that a purchase is being made according to Section 1624 of the purchasing ordinance. STEVE FOSTER Chief of Police SF:BZ:tlc Inter-Com DATE: JANUARY 16, 2002 TO: FROM: SUBJECT: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER STEVE FOSTER, CHIEF OF POLICE USED VEHICLE PURCHASE SUMMARY The Police Department needs authorization to purchase one used vehicle (budgeted in FY 2001/2002) by using the Used Vehicle Purchase Policy (attached). This used vehicle purchase is to replace one Investigations unmarked car (1994 Mercury Grand Marquis, 503-3436) that is overdue for replacement. FISCAL IMPACT The total cost for this replacement vehicle is $20,398.86 (invoice price is $18,829.00). The budgeted replacement amount for this vehicle is $29,820.00, which is a savings of $9,421.14 to the City. The account number that the vehicle amount should be taken from is 84-801-9730. BACKGROUND In the past we have tried a variety of strategies to ensure we have the highest quality cars at the best prices. We have purchased new economy-sized vehicles and we have purchased used mid-sized vehicles with additional equipment for approximately the same amount of money. We have found that the used vehicles of better quality are much better received by our personnel and, per Alan Gallagher, cost about the same to repair and service as the stripped models. Attached is the specific vehicle buyer's order outlining the purchase of the replacement vehicle, as well as the competitive bids, which are all more costly. The vehicle we want to purchase is: 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan Burgundy 22,149 miles A local check at Tustin Dodge for the same vehicle we want showed one available at $22,275. This is $3446.00 over the invoice price of the one from Enterprise Car Sales. We ask that this vehicle be purchased from Enterprise Car Sales of Orange for the following reasons: · Competitive pricing due to over 40,000-vehicle inventory. · Verifiable maintenance records. · Vehicle certification at no additional cost to us. · 12-month/12,000 mile warranty at no additional cost. · 24-hour roadside assistance for one year at no additional cost. · 7-day money-back guarantees or full exchange to another vehicle if exchanged to another vehicle if not happy for any reason. · Known supplier. We have used Enterprise in the past and Alan Gallagher, our Supervisor of Vehicles, has advised us that these vehicles have been excellent purchases. RECOMMENDATION We have tentatively agreed to purchase this budgeted vehicle from Enterprise Car Sales. I recommend approval and ask for your authorization to proceed.
