Resolution to Approve the Purchase of a Vehicle from Gorno Ford (MiDeal Bid - $26,382.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one 2020 Ford Fusion Energi plug-in hybrid electric vehicle at $26,382.00 from Gorno Ford, Woodhaven, Michigan. City Council approved a similar resolution to purchase a Ford Fusion at their January 6, 2020 Council meeting. This is a second Ford Fusion replacing a different vehicle than the earlier resolution.

The vehicle listed on this resolution will replace a vehicle that will have reached the contractual limit in the next year.
The Ford Fusion Energi is a plug-in hybrid electric sedan that also has a gasoline engine for use when the battery power is exhausted. The Fusion Energi all electric range is rated at 21 miles per charge which should be adequate for most local trips by the vehicle.
