Title
Approval to purchase three (3) Police Vehicle Equipment & Installation
Body
SUMMARY: Captain Brian Eckelson has received quotes (approved by State of Tennessee Central Procurement Office) from On-Duty Depot and Columbia Dodge for $6,649 and $6,724.86 each respectively, for the purchase and installation of items to equip 3 new Police vehicles. Chief Jessie Brooks has reviewed the quotes and recommends purchasing three of the equipment and installation bids from Columbia Dodge, for a total purchase price of $20,174.58. Columbia Dodge’s delivered price per car is $75.86 higher, but will not require city cost to transport the vehicles to and from the vendor. (A savings of approx. $600 in salaries, mileage and travel costs.) Additionally, the vehicles will be equipped by the dealer, using certified service technicians, limiting any future warranty issues. This was budgeted and approved in the 2020/2021 budget.
