Purchase of Various Vehicles and Equipment Through Fleet Replacement Program and Associated Budget Resolution
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
Vehicles and equipment manufacturers are experiencing significant delays in producing vehicles and equipment for local governments. Currently, we have outstanding purchase orders from FY22 that may not get delivered until as late as 2025. We continue to search for opportunities to obtain vehicles/equipment deliveries available due to canceled purchase orders by other agencies.
We have been aware of the opportunity to purchase vehicles that were canceled by another County that are immediately available. All of these vehicles have been confirmed by the department to still be a needed resource for operations and the replacements found by Fleet meet their purpose.
Fleet requests the ability to purchase the following items for these departments:
Fire and Emergency Services:
* Two Medics from RevRTC. Since these are stock units, we also request the ability to purchase 2 Stryker Cots to go in the Medics. The cost for both Medics are $469,784 and the cost to include the Stryker Cots are $112,729. The total cost is $582,513.
* Two Chevrolet 1500 pickup trucks for a total price of $73,694.
Parks Department:
* Ford F550 for a total cost of $59,173. This does not include the purchase of a utility bed which will be purchased separately.
Building Department:
* One Chevrolet 1500 pickup truck totaling $38,438.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Increase proceeds from Line of Credit Account No. 5081-384006 and Equipment $5,000 or more Account No. 5081-08031-5606405 totaling $753,818.36.
LEGAL NOTE
The Board has the authority to take the recommended action pursuant to Chapter 125, Florida Statutes.
