Award the most advantageous bid to 5th Gear Cycles for the purchase of two (2) BMW motorcycles for the Police Department traffic division
End
Background:
Currently there is no state contract for the purchase of BMW Police motorcycles. The traffic division has added two (2) new motorcycle officer positions, these motorcycles are needed to supplement those positions.
BMW motorcycles are recommended for numerous reasons. The BMW brand consistently outperforms other police motorcycles in training and real-world scenarios. BMW motorcycles are also more efficient, cheaper to maintain, and have service locations within the city of Broken Arrow. The Police Department has utilized the BMW motorcycle since 2009, and it has proven to be a reliable and sound investment for the department.
The Purchasing Division solicited quotes from two (2) separate BMW vendors. The recommended vendor is 5th Gear Cycles, a local business located at 1700 Southwest Expressway Boulevard Broken Arrow, OK. The other vendor out of Oklahoma City was $2,882.54 more expensive than 5th Gear Cycles.
Cost: $56,266.10
