C. Bid Awards - Police Patrol Car and Staff CarALISPELL POLICE DEPARTMENT Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59903 ADDISON H. CLARK Phone (406) 758-7780 Chief of Police DONALD A. HOSSACK Asst. Chief Memorandum 15 September 1997 TO : Clarence Krepps, City Manger FROM: Ad Clark, Chief of Police .- SUBJ : Patrol vehicle bids Bids for a Patrol vehicle were opened in council chambers Monday, 8 September 1997. An itemization of those bids follows: - Don K Chevrolet (Whitefish, MT) 1998 Chevy Tahoe ..................$30,000.00 - Scarff Auto Center -(Kalispell, MT) 1998 Jeep Cherokee ................$21,069.00 - DePratu Ford Sales (Whitefish, MT) 1998 Ford Expedition .............$28,753.06 - Eisinger Motors (Kalispell, MT) 1998 Chevy Tahoe .................$29,910.15 The Don K -Chevrolet bid was not accompanied by a bid bond. The Scarfl'' Auto Center bid did not meet minimum specifications. The DePratu Ford Salem bid was technically short of specification on engine size and alternator capacity. This was not considered a major problem and they also bid vinyl seats and painted bumpers while the other venders provide cloth seats and chrome bumpers. Furthermore neither the Scarff Auto Center nor DePratu Ford Sales offer an extended warranty. In light of our expectation to keep this patrol vehicle on line for 5-6 years I recommend an extended warranty on the power and drive train components. Eisinger Motors does offer an extended warranty. Since our budget for this vehicle was $28,500 I recommend the deletion of trailering special equipment, the froii bear air conditioning package and the purchase of the Tahoe from Eisinger motors for $28,976.00 and the extended warranty (6 year 100,000 miles) for $2,135.00.
