Discussion:

On October 30, 2019, a City of Shakopee Police Department's patrol car (No. sk1037) was struck by another vehicle. The amount of damage to the vehicle is greater than the total value of the vehicle and has been declared a total loss.  This 2016 patrol car was scheduled to be replaced in 2020 (see attached Equipment Replacement summary sheet). With the extended ordering and setup process for patrol vehicles and the need to maintain a certain patrol vehicle fleet size, a replacement vehicle is needed as soon as possible.

 

The replacement of this vehicle is being purchased under the typical process using the State of Minnesota Contract No. 158505. Vehicle set up is anticipated to be performed by Emergency Automotive Technologies, Inc. with components purchased under the state contracts. The quotations from Tenvoorde Ford Motor Co. and Emergency Automotive Technologies, Inc., are attached and consistent with state contracts.

 

The cost of the vehicle is $33,869.56 plus an additional $9.547.65 for the equipment install and setup, totaling $43,417.21. The damaged vehicle settlement amount with the insurance company including the salvage vehicle amount is estimated at $27,198.12.

Budget Impact:

A net amount of $16,438.67 from the Equipment Internal Service Fund is needed to purchase this vehicle. This vehicle was anticipated to be purchased in 2020 as part of the normal replacement program with a budget of $47,000.
