Approval of and authorization to purchase two (2) 2027 Chevrolet Traverse AWD Vehicles from Vance Country Ford, pursuant to the Oklahoma Statewide Vehicle Contract #1000009315 SW0035 for the Broken Arrow Police Department
End
Background:
Funding for the purchase and upfitting of two (2) new 2027 Chevrolet Traverse AWD vehicles was approved in the FY2027 Capital Outlay Budget under Project No. 2730060. A total of $96,000 was allocated for the vehicles and their subsequent upfitting. The vehicles will replace older units within the Broken Arrow Police Department's fleet and will be used as unmarked vehicles by the Criminal Investigations Division (CID).
To maximize available resources and achieve cost efficiencies, staff recommends purchasing the vehicles 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 two (2) 2027 Chevrolet Traverse AWD vehicles from Vance Country Ford for a total amount of $82,324.00 through Oklahoma Statewide Vehicle Contract No. 100...
