Jacobson, Director of Public Safety <br />CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report L� Comments attached <br />Recommendation: Car/Truck City of Pine City lost their state bid contract for Chrysler <br />police package vehicles due to the bankruptcy of Denny Hecker; their parent company. <br />Nelson Auto Center won the new state contract # 440560 for Chrysler police vehicles. The <br />old bid price was $22,137.00. The new contract price is $23,644.91. This price is well under <br />the New Brighton Fleet budget of S29,900.00. The 55,000.00 trade-in credit will be applied <br />to the new 063 replacement which is still being supplied through Car/Truck City which <br />retained the Chevrolet state bid; which will reduce that approved vehicle from $25,42.5.00 <br />to $20,42.5.00. <br />Financial Impact: This pricing change still reflects a savings of nearly $60,000.00 from the <br />projected fleet replacement cost budget. <br />Explanation: The change in the state contract was an unanticipated event. <br />Costs and Funding: The New Brighton Fleet Plan was funded at $1.96,000.00 for these <br />purchases. The exact cost changed to $136,186.99 from $134,679.08. Additional decreases <br />in fleet costs will still result from auction returns. <br />John. <br />Director, New Brighton Department of Public Safety <br />I \C0UNCIL\KEP02"I'S\2001\Public Safety\Police vehicle state bid change.doe <br />
