Approval to Purchase a 2018 SUV All-Wheel Drive Through State Contract for Public Works Department
Submitted by:	Mike Harris, Engineering
Department:	Public Works

Information

Subject

Approval to Purchase a 2018 SUV 4x4 Through State Contract

Background

The Public Works Department requests approval for purchase of a new vehicle for the recently hired Public Works Director. The truck previously assigned to the Public Works Director was transferred to the Engineering Department in conjunction with recent changes in the organization. Staff recommends an SUV type vehicle for this position similar to the vehicle previously assigned to this position. A review of the vehicles available on state contract determined that a Chevy Traverse or Ford Explorer were the best fit. The Chevy Traverse is recommended due to slightly less cost at $27,200.

The proposed replacement is a 2018 all-wheel drive model available through State Contract #56444 from Freeland Automotive, in the amount of $27,200. (See attached quote and photo.) Staff research shows this price is well below quoted market prices in the area.

Please direct any questions to the Service Center Director.

Staff Recommendation

Staff recommends approval to purchase the 2018 Chevy Traverse SUV from State contract.
