MOTION - 3/31/81
Eighteen replacement and two additional full -size sedans for the
Police Uniform Division and two replacement full -size sedans for the
Fire Department be purchased from Charlie Thomas Courtesy Ford on the
basis of low bid meeting specifications of $192,462.66. The low bid
of $175,316 by Creveling Dodge and $185,548 by McKenzie
Chrysler- Plymouth did not meet the minimum requirements on wheelbase
(112.7" vs. 114 "). Funds are available in the 1981 -82 budget for this
purchase. The two additional sedans are for the five police officers
added in the budget to permit reduction of the size of active beats
and allow a more rapid response time. Bids were received from four
firms. Price comparison shows an increase of approximately 11% since
the last purchase in January, 1981.
