GROUP FOR THE PURCHASE OF THREE BLACK AND WHITE FORD
EXPLORER POLICE INTERCEPTOR PATROL UTILITY VEHICLES IN
THE AMOUNT OF $125,979.72
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2019-20 Equipment Replacement Fund provides for replacement of three
patrol vehicles in the Police Department. Using Sourcewell, a national cooperative
purchasing program, enables the City to streamline the process of procuring these
vehicles and receiving the best price possible. It is recommended that the City Council
approve a Purchase Order with 72 Hour LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group for the
purchase of three black and white 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Patrol Utility
vehicles in the amount of $125,979.72.
The Fiscal Year 2019-20 Equipment Acquisition Budget provides for the replacement of
three black and white patrol vehicles in the Police Department. The three vehicles being
replaced meet the mileage, age, and/or maintenance requirements of the City’s Vehicle
Replacement Program. The proposed replacement for black and white patrol vehicles are
2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Patrol Utility vehicles. These vehicles will replace
two 2015 Ford Patrol Explorers and one 2017 Ford Patrol Explorer.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department has selected the 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Patrol
Utility model for black and white pursuit vehicles as it is equipped with a powerful 290
horsepower engine, 10-speed transmission for greater acceleration and fuel economy,
all-wheel drive capability, and 75 mile per hour rear-impact crash test rating. These
features provide for superior handling during high speed pursuits and best-in-class crash
safety. Additionally, this vehicle has a large cargo capacity for storing police gear, high
rated ballistic glass, and wide seats to accommodate gun holsters and belts. This model

has also proven to be more fuel efficient than previous police pursuit vehicles and is
factory prewired for emergency lighting accessory installations.
The California Government Code authorizes public agencies to participate in cooperative
purchasing agreements such as those established by Sourcewell, while still remaining
within the City’s adopted rules and procedures for purchasing. By utilizing a cooperative
purchasing program, the City is able to streamline the procurement process and purchase
vehicles at a lower cost than traditional competitive bidding. Sourcewell awarded a
contract to 72 Hour LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group for vehicles, cars, vans, SUV’s,
and light trucks with related equipment, accessories , and services. The bidding process
and the contract with 72 Hour LLC National Auto Fleet Group has been reviewed by the
Public W orks Services Department and both have been determined to meet the City’s
procurement requirements. A copy of the agreement between Sourcewell and 72 Hour
LLC dba National Auto Fleet Group is attached.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for each Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Patrol Utility Vehicle is $41,993.24, for
a total vehicle cost of $125,979.72 for all three units. The total cost to outfit and prepare
all three vehicles by an outside contractor is approximately $60,000, which is handled
under a separate purchase order. Sufficient funds have been budgeted in the Fiscal Year
2019-20 Equipment Replacement Fund to acquire and outfit the three patrol vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Purchase Order with 72 Hour LLC dba
National Auto Fleet Group for the purchase of three black and white Ford Explorer Police
Interceptor Patrol Utility vehicles in the amount of $125,979.72.
