BACKGROUND The Police Department's patrol fleet consists of twenty-seven Ford Police Utility Interceptors. The pursuit-rated Utility Interceptors provides safety benefits,comfort and functionality that is sometimes limited by other patrol vehicle types. Based on feedback received from police personnel,the Utility Interceptors are considered the industry standard and the best choice for a patrol vehicle for Pleasanton. Due to the operational use of the patrol vehicles and warranty periods, a four-year life cycle has been determined for replacement. Patrol vehicles operate with frequent stop and go, long periods of idling,and high speeds that creates significant wear and tear on the vehicles increasing the cost of maintenance. The conversion of the Youth and Community Services van will allow more flexibility to the police operations. To meet operational changes,the Youth and Community Services van (unit#434)will be converted into a Ford Utility Inceptor to be used for community events or patrol as required. This change will also help minimize shared use of the patrol vehicles as an additional COVID-19 protection measure. DISCUSSION The patrol vehicles scheduled to be replaced this fiscal year are either approaching their four-year and/or 100,000-mile warranty expiration or have exceeded maintenance costs thresholds.The total maintenance cost(excluding fuel)for the patrol vehicles scheduled to be replaced is $123,614. Below is a table of the patrol vehicles scheduled to be replaced with the model year, mileage, and maintenance costs. Mileage at replacement time will be higher since it takes aboutfourto six months to receive and outfit the vehicles.
