Title
Vote to authorize the purchase of six Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles in the amount of $243,298.20 on State Contract NC70A-STC2510A as included in the FY2025 budget
Abstract
Introduction & Background: As part of the budget process each year, new positions’ needs are evaluated. The Sheriff’s Office was granted six new deputy positions. These vehicles are being purchased for the new positions. NC General Statutes allow the County to use cooperative purchasing contracts through the North Carolina State Procurement NC70A. The formal bid process has been conducted by the NC Purchasing & Contract Division. Under the guidelines of G.S. 143-129(e)(3), the State contract purchases are exempt from additional bidding processes.
Discussion & Analysis: The addition of these requested vehicles will benefit this office by providing a vehicle for the new positions being added. Due to supply, delivery of these vehicles could take several months.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Budgetary Impact: Funds are included in the Chatham County Sheriff's Office FY2025 budget for capital outlay.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to authorize the purchase of six Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles in the amount of $243,298.20 on State Contract NC70A-STC2510A as included in the FY2025 budget.
