SUBJECT: APPROVE PURCHASE OF 8 NEW FORD CROWN VICTORIA POLICE
VEHICLES FOR USE BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Assistant City Manager—Administrative Services
SUMMARY
This action would award the purchase of eight (8) new Crown Victoria 2007 Police
Interceptors for use by the Police Department. These vehicles are replacements for
existing units.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Order approving the purchase of eight (8) new Ford Crown
Victoria 2007 Police Interceptors for use by the Police Department in the amount of
$196,631.84 from Wondries Ford of Alhambra, California.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City inventory of vehicles and equipment is examined annually in conjunction with
the budget process to determine which units meet criteria established by the City
Council in Resolution Number 18834 for replacement. City vehicles and equipment are
replaced based on a number of factors including vehicle mileage, age, maintenance
costs, operating costs, and the resale value of the vehicle and/or equipment to be
replaced.
The units recommended for replacement in this report meet established criteria for
replacement and have been reviewed and approved by the Fleet Review Committee
(FRC).
In keeping with the City of Palm Springs established commitment to improving air
quality in the Coachella Valley, all fleet replacements are evaluated for their operational
suitability to the use of alternative fuels. Police and emergency response vehicles are
not operationally suited for alternative fuel use at this time. Item No. n . L.

Section 7.09.010 of the Municipal Code provides that the City Council may authorize the
acquisition of supplies, equipment or services through a joint powers or other
cooperative purchasing program with a public entity or association of public agencies.
The County of Los Angeles recently awarded a purchase contract to Wondries Ford to
acquire 24 Crown Victoria Police Inceptors. Pursuant to the requirements of Section
7.09.010, the Procurement Manager has determined that utilization of Los Angeles
County's purchase contract (Bid #223995) is acceptable and will adequately protect the
public interest in that the total cost of the equipment is likely to be less than could be
obtained through an independent City competitive process.
FISCAL IMPACT: Finance Director Review:
Funds for this purchase were appropriated in the current 06/07 fiscal year budget
(Account 510-5475-50020, Motor Vehicles).
