Title
Resolution to Approve the Purchase of a Vehicle from Jim Riehl's Friendly Chrysler Jeep (Oakland County Bid - $26,997.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one 2018 Chrysler 300 sedan at $26,997.00 from Jim Riehl's Friendly Chrysler Jeep, Warren, Michigan.
The City's labor contracts with the Ann Arbor Police Officers Association and the Ann Arbor Police Supervisors require that vehicles used by their members will not be driven more than 80,000 miles or 6 years. The police vehicle listed on this resolution will replace a vehicle that will have reached the 80,000 miles' limit in the next year.
The Police Unit of the Safety Services Area requires that the fleet of detective vehicles consist of a variety of makes, models, and body styles. The fleet includes cars, pickups, and SUVs. To maintain this variety, the Fleet and Facilities Unit develops a list of vehicles awarded a contract under one or more of the cooperative purchasing programs from the State of Michigan, Macomb County, and Oakland County. The Police Department then selects vehicles from the list. Although greenhouse-gas emissions and fuel economy are factors in the decision, maintaining variety is the overriding factor.
The Fleet and Facilities Unit reviewed the bids of the Cooperative Purchasing Programs of the State of Michigan, Oakland County, and Macomb County. Jim Riehl's Friendly Chrysler Jeep was the lowest responsive bidder to the Oakland County bid.
Budget and Fiscal Impact: Adequate funds for these purchases in included in the FY 18 approved Fleet Services operation and maintenance budget.
Jim Riehl's Friendly Chrysler Jeep complies with the requirements of the City's non-discrimination ordinances.
