This is due to the factory order window closing before June and to receive the current calendar year model. This year the police department is scheduled to order three new squads in 2026 and funding has already been allocated in the 2025-2026 CIP borrowing. I’m asking for the city council approval to request and obtain bids for new police vehicle purchases. Justification: The police department maintains a fleet of 9 patrol squads and must replace a minimum of 3 patrol cars annually in order to prevent any one squad from going much beyond 100,000 miles. Vehicles used in municipal law enforcement get their miles at low speeds, making frequent starts/stops, have a high number of idling hours and are on the road 24 hours a day while being operated by many different drivers. 100,000 miles cannot compare to the same number of miles we might put on our own family vehicle. Generally, when the squads reach 80,000 miles, more maintenance is required. Also, by trading in vehicles at the end of three-year cycles, the city return is much higher for recouping money. In 2026 the police department proposes to purchase three Ford Utility Vehicles. Thank you for your consideration!
