On June 22, 2019, Allen Police Department vehicle #910 (a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe marked police car) was involved in a major accident. The vehicle was stopped on Northbound US 75 on the shoulder on a traffic stop when it was struck by another vehicle driven by an elderly driver. The vehicle is a total loss due to the significant amount of damage.
On June 25 2019, Allen Police Department vehicle #713 (a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe unmarked police car) was involved in a major accident. The vehicle was stopped on Northbound US 75 on the shoulder on a traffic stop when it was struck by another vehicle driven by a driver that was arrested for DWI. The vehicle is a total loss due to the significant amount of damage.
On July 21 2019, Allen Police Department vehicle #704 (a 2017 Chevrolet Tahoe marked police car) was involved in a major accident. The vehicle was on the 121 frontage road crossing Stacy road when it was struck in the intersection by a vehicle that ran the red light. The vehicle is a total loss due to the significant damage.
The police department is requesting to replace these vehicles with three Chevrolet Tahoes, two 2019 and one new 2018, through Tarrant County Contract Pricing for the vehicle replacements in the amount of $96,785. Some of the equipment (light bars, etc.) was salvaged and will be re-used. The remainder will be purchased through City of Allen contracted vendor Priority Public Safety in the total amount of $28,968.94. The total replacement cost for the three vehicles and equipment is $125,753.94.
- 2019 Tahoe $33,105 + $ 5,245.25 = $38,350.25
- 2019 Tahoe $33,105 + $13,319.89 = $46,424.89
-
2018 Tahoe $30,575 + $10,403.80 = $40,978.80
