Title
Vote to approve Sheriff’s Office (Animal Resource Center Budget) Vehicle Purchase 2024-2025.
Abstract
Introduction & Background: As part of the budget process each year, vehicles are evaluated for mileage and reliability for the purpose of law enforcement support. A total of two vehicles for the Sheriff's Office capital outlay budget. Currently, we are ordering two of these vehicles for the ARC fleet. The 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 replacing higher mileage vehicles which require more maintenance. Delivery of the new vehicles is expected to take 3-6 months.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:
Budgetary Impact: Funds are included in the Chatham County Sheriff's Animal Resource Center FY2024-2025 budget for capital outlay.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to approve purchase of two vehicles for Sheriff’s Animal Resource Center at a cost of $140,789.80. North Carolina State Competitive Bid Award #202100002.
