0 0 S ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT It No. Meeting Date: MARCH 19, 1985 SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF SEVEN (7) SHERIFF'S VEHICLES DEPARTMENT: PURCHASING & CENTRAL PUBLIC HEAPING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S): INFCRIATION CONTACT: ROB ADDELSON OFFICE x498 • Hillsborough - 732-8181 NO Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 • Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: 'lb consider authorizing the issuance of a purchase order to the State Contract Vendor (Bobby Murray Chevrolet of Raleigh) in the amount of $73,909.08 for seven (7) 1985 Chevrolet Impala police package vehicles to be paid for after July 1, 1985. NEED: These vehicles would be used to replace six existing patrol vehicles with mileage in excess of 100,000 miles and one vehicle with a projected mileage for July, 1985 of approximately 100,000 miles. It has been the County's experience that when Sheriff vehicles reach mileages of 100,000 or greater, maintenance costs begin to mount and performance deteriorates. IMPACT: In exchange for the seven vehicles proposed for purchase the Sheriff would turn over six to be sold at auction and retain one for back up. In addition, one of his existing vehicles which is currently off-line would be repaired for use in a back up capacity. This would allow two back up vehicles increasing his fleet from the current level of 24 to 25 vehicles. Past analysis has shown that purchasing through state contract can result in significant cost savings since the state has the advantage of purchasing in large quantities resulting in a lower cost per unit. Board authorization would result in a comittment to expend $73,909.08 in the FY 85-86 budget. Sale of the six replaced vehicles would provide an estimated offsetting revenue of $21,000. RECOMMENATION: Authorize the issuance of a purchase order to Bobby Murray Chevrolet of Raleigh in the amount of $73,909.08 for seven (7) Chevrolet Impalas to be paid for and delivered after July 1, 1985.
