In F.Y. 1992/93 budget, 11 marked police vehicles were slated for
replacement. All of these police units are 1989 and older models
and will have in excess of 60,000 miles by time of replacement.
Experience has shown that maintenance costs exceed replacement
costs at approximately 60,000 miles and/or 3 years of patrol use.
Eight of these eleven have had their service life extended.
The Police Department participated in the Vehicle Evaluation and

vendor for the past seven years with excellent service. The

immediately upon approval.
Your consideration in this matter is appreciated.
