RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with Downtown Ford in an amount not to exceed $86,500 for the purchase of a 2017 Ford F-550 Prime Mover for the Office of the Sheriff - Emergency Services Division.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$86,500. $33,852 from the sale of vehicle #6831; $52,648 from FY16 EMPG Grant.

BACKGROUND:

The Emergency Services Division (ESD) is the logistical support arm of the Sheriff's Office and the Operational Area. ESD currently has 17 trailers in their fleet that provide a wide variety of capabilities, incident command, mobile power generation, potable water, food service and sanitation. This equipment deploys regularly to planned events, local emergencies and disasters through mutual aid.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Currently, ESD does not have enough capable tow vehicles for the emergency trailers in their fleet. On large operations or situations where there are multiple requests (including disaster response) for equipment, ESD must ferry equipment and coordinate vehicles to tow. This often requires tow vehicles to go back and forth to pick up multiple trailers. Adding another tow vehicle able to tow any trailer in the fleet will add flexibility and capability to meet multiple requests for service.

Grant funds and auction salvage dollars are available to purchase the vehicle in its entirety. No General Fund monies will be used to purchase this vehicle.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office will be unable to acquire the vehicle for Emergency Services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
