|
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
Public safety vehicle equipment includes emergency lights, sirens and console computer packages. Annual purchases for public safety equipment have increased due to six recent collisions and the additional seven new vehicles into the fleet.
Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool has reimbursed the City of Allen for damages. The average equipment cost per vehicle is $10,000 for the replacement of a wrecked vehicle and $14,000 for a new purchased vehicle.
Priority Public Safety has been very responsive to our needs and sensitive to our schedules. They pre-order equipment and react promptly when new cars are delivered for installation. They have made the City of Allen business a priority.
|
| | | | | | | | BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding for this annual contract is budgeted in the Vehicle Replacement and Operating Funds. The total estimated annual amount of this expenditure for the purchase of vehicle equipment and installation services is $300,000.
|
| | | | | | | | STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to amend the contract with Priority Public Safety for the purchase of vehicle equipment and installation services for a total annual amount of $300,000.
|
| | | | | | | | MOTION
I make a motion to authorize the City Manager to amend the contract with Priority Public Safety for the purchase of vehicle equipment and installation services for a total annual amount of $300,000.
