$120,581.64 in Motor Vehicle Maintenance Fund 1702. $1,377,500 was approved for project #13-7500, Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Plan in the FY13 CIP and $596,385.44 of budget authority is currently available.
Business Impact (Per NRS 237):
    
A Business Impact Statement is not required because this is not a rule.
Agenda Item Brief: Equipment Services is requesting authorization to spend $120,581.64 to purchase and install equipment in six new Police vehicles that will be going into service.


Background: This request is for the purchase of police patrol car equipment and mobile data terminals that will be installed in six new patrol vehicles for the Police Department. The equipment that is removed from old patrol vehicles is not compatible with the new police patrol models available on the market today. The old mobile data terminals have exceeded their life expectancy and experience many failures that require them to be sent to the factory for refurbishment.

Analysis: In sourcing this equipment, if approved, the City would be using the joinder provision allowed under NRS 332.195, and purchasing this equipment utilizing the Washoe County Contract. The contracts that Washoe County uses for emergency vehicle up fitting have historically been the most competitive. Utilizing the “joinder” provision allows the City to precisely define the equipment needed while foregoing the need to formally bid the item. The quote is attached for your reference.

Alternatives: 1.Council could approve this purchase as outlined by staff. 2.Council could deny this purchase. 3.Council could direct staff to provide alternatives to this purchase.

Recommended Motion: I move to approve this purchase and installation of equipment in six new police vehicles from Lehr Auto Electric and Emergency Equipment in the amount of $120,581.64.
