Title

Vote on a request to pay for vehicle upfit, graphics and vehicle tax and registration for year 2021-2022.

 

Abstract

Action Requested: Motion to authorize the upfit of one F150 Pickup at a cost of $6737.95. Motion to install graphics on F150 truck for Animal Resource Center at a cost of $1600.00. Motion to pay vehicle tax and registration on F150 pickup at a cost of $1722.22 for taxes and $6.00 for registration.

                     

Introduction & Background: As part of the budget process each year we request upfit, graphics and vehicle registration for vehicles purchased for year 2021-2022. 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 this requested vehicle will benefit this office by replacing higher mileage vehicles. Vehicle tax and registration will be paid once the vehicles are delivered to Upfitters. Upfit and graphics cost will be paid upon completion of work.

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:

                     

Budgetary Impact: Funds are included in the Chatham County Sheriff's Office FY2021-22 budget for capital outlay.

                     

Recommendation: Consideration of F150 Ford Pickup for Animal Resource Center upfit, graphics, taxes and registration to be paid from budget 1102010 for FY2021-2022.
