Title
Vote on a request to approve Sheriff's Office Vehicle Purchase 2022-2023.
Abstract
Action Requested: Motion to authorize the FY 22-23 purchase of seven Ford Utilities in the amount of $272,985.16, six F150 trucks in the amount of $270,351.42 and one F250 in the amount of $46,424.60 for vehicles only, on State Contract NC70A. Total purchase amount for fourteen vehicles only for 1102010 will be $589761.18 and to authorize the purchase of 7 Ford Utilities at a cost of $271,669.16. This request is due to cancellation of original FY 2021-2022 order for 7 vehicles. The amount requested is for the current cost of the purchase of the 7 PIU's from Ford. The additional cost increase is $37,339.12 from the original purchased approved by the BOC for FY21-22.
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 7 vehicles were approved for the Sheriff's Office capital outlay budget in FY 21-22 and an additional 14 for FY 22-23. 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.
Budgetary Impact: Funds are included in the Chatham County Sheriff's Office FY2022-2023 budget for capital outlay.
Recommendation: Motion to authorize the FY 22-23 purchase of seven Ford Utilities in the amount of $272,985.16, six F150 trucks in the amount of $270,351.42 and one F250 in the amount of $46,424.60 for vehicles only, on State Contract NC70A...
