BACKGROUND <br /> The Police Department's patrol fleet consists of 27 patrol units. The pursuit-rated Ford <br /> Utility Interceptor provides safety benefits, comfort, and functionality that is sometimes <br /> limited in other patrol vehicle types. Based on feedback received from police personnel, <br /> the Utility Interceptors are considered the industry standard and the best choice for a <br /> patrol vehicle for Pleasanton. <br /> Three patrol units (units 400, 403, and 406) are scheduled to be replaced this fiscal <br /> year. In addition, two Ford Utility Interceptors (units 434 and 485) were damaged <br /> beyond repair in separate vehicle accidents and are non-operable. Staff has submitted <br /> a claim with Bay Cities Joint Powers Insurance Authority, the City's insurance carrier, <br /> for the replacement of the two damaged units. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The automotive industry has been experiencing disruptions and delays due to the global <br /> supply chain issues, particularly the microchip shortage. These shortages have created <br /> challenges for vehicle procurement with longer than normal lead times for production. <br /> Ford is currently accepting orders for the 2022 Ford Utility Interceptor with a 20-22- <br /> week lead time for production. <br /> The replacement criteria for patrol vehicles are four years of use and/or 100,000-mile <br /> warranty expiration or exceedance of maintenance costs thresholds. Below is a table of <br /> the patrol vehicles scheduled to be replaced with the model year, mileage, and <br /> maintenance costs. Due to longer production times, mileage at replacement time will be <br /> higher. <br /> Vehicle# Model Year Vehicle Type Mileage Maintenance <br /> Cost <br /> 400 2012 Patrol SUV 52,544 $15,341.16 <br /> 403 2014 Patrol SUV 50,125 11,896.77 <br /> 406 2013 Patrol Sedan 37,600 8,755.29 <br /> *485 2021 Patrol SUV 5,090 <br /> *434 2021 Patrol SUV 2,749 <br /> *Vehicle totaled and non-operable <br /> TOTAL MAINTENANCE COST $35,993.22 <br /> Below is a table with the cost break down for the vehicle purchase and outfitting costs. <br /> Unit Type Vehicle Outfitting Subtotal Qty Total <br /> Patrol Unit $43,950.64 $17,189.58 $61,140.22 5 $305,701.10 <br /> 15% Contingency $45,855.16 <br /> Grand Total $351,556.26 <br /> Staff is seeking approval to purchase five Ford Utility Interceptors from Folsom Lake <br /> Ford and to have the units outfitted by Lehr.
