Information
Subject
Approval of purchase of six (6) vehicles for the Police Department under State contract.
Background
The Police Department requests authorization to purchase six vehicles for various police functions under state contract. All six of the vehicles are replacements. Funding for the six vehicles comes from the Equipment Replacement Fund.

Five of the proposed vehicles will be assigned to the Patrol Division and will be fully equipped and marked to be used by patrol officers. The make and model of the vehicle proposed for the five patrol vehicles is the Dodge Charger. The Charger is the vehicle currently used by patrol for all non-specialized units.

The other proposed vehicle will be assigned to the Criminal Investigations Department to be assigned to a Detective and will remain unmarked and equipped. The vehicle proposed for the Criminal Investigations detective is a Hyundai Palisade. The Palisade is an SUV that is commonly used in this area and will be less noticeable as a police vehicle

The cost of the Dodge Charger is $25,051.25 each and the cost on the Hyundai Palisade is $35,250.00.  The Palisade cost is less than the $39,500 set aside for CID vehicles in the Equipment Replacement Fund.  The total cost for all six vehicles is $160,506.25.

Wilson County Motors has been awarded the Tennessee State purchasing contract for the Hyundai Palisade . Columbia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has been awarded the Tennessee State purchasing contract for the Dodge Charger. 

The purchase of these vehicles is in accordance with the FY 2021 Equipment Replacement Fund's vehicle replacement schedule.

Pease contact the Police Chief if any additional information is needed.
