Approval of and authorization to purchase one (1) Chevrolet Tahoe PPV from Vance Country Ford, pursuant to the Oklahoma Statewide Vehicle Contract SW0035 for the Broken Arrow Fire Department
End
Background:
Funding for the purchase and upfitting of one (1) new 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle was approved in the FY2027 Capital Outlay Budget under Project No. 2735010. A total of $80,000 was allocated for the vehicle and its subsequent upfitting by a third-party vendor. The vehicle will serve as the primary transportation for the Fire Department’s new District Chief position.
To maximize available resources and achieve cost efficiencies, staff recommends purchasing the vehicle through Oklahoma Statewide Vehicle Contract SW0035. This contract allows Oklahoma municipalities to purchase vehicles at pre-negotiated state contract pricing, eliminating the need for a separate competitive bidding process while providing cost and administrative savings.
Section 2-27(b)(5) of the Broken Arrow Code of Ordinances provides an exception to the competitive bidding process for supplies, materials, equipment, or contractual services purchased at a price not exceeding the price established by the state purchasing agency, another state agency authorized to regulate prices, or an approved purchasing consortium.
Additionally, Section V.d. of the Broken Arrow Purchasing Manual authorizes purchases from “the state contract or other purchasing consortiums” and provides that such purchases do not require formal competitive bidding. The proposed purchase complies with both the Code of Ordinances and the Purchasing Manual.
Following a review of the available options, staff recommends purchasing one (1) 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle from Vance Country Ford for $58,209.00 through Oklahoma Statewide Vehicle Contract No. 1000009315 (SW0035)
Cost: $58,209.00
