Approval of and authorization of the purchase of a Police/Fire Command post from Farber Specialty Vehicles pursuant to the Omnia Partners purchasing Cooperative, for the Police Department
End
Background:
The Police Department is requesting that the City approve the purchase of one Police/Fire Command Post from Farber Specialty Vehicles. The Command Post is being purchased to replace the existing Police Command Post which came into service in 2003. The new command post will serve as a mobile operations center for Police, Emergency Management and Fire Operations.
The funding for the Command Post was approved as part of the 2014 Bond issue.
The Police Department is requesting to use an existing National Contract for the purchase of the command post vehicle from Farber Specialty Vehicles. The current contract is part of a purchasing program called Omnia Partners, formally known as US Communities. Omnia Partners contract with Farber Specialty Vehicles was competitively bid and meets our local and state purchasing guidelines.
The Police Department is also requesting to "trade in" our current command post as a part of this purchase. Our current Command Post was purchased through Farber in 2003 and Farber has quoted a $25,000 "trade in" value for that vehicle which will be credited to the total cost. In conjunction with the "trade in", Farber has quoted 5% discount off of the total price of the project for the purchase of the vehicle if done in conjunction with a second special police vehicle covered in a separate but related request for action.
The cost of the police command post vehicle is $343,221.00
Cost: $343,221.00
Funding Source: 2014 Bond Issue Fund 92 Project 191712
