Moraine council asks legislation to buy two marked police cruisers held under state bid; price noted at $98,244
Summary
Councilors instructed staff to draft legislation to purchase two marked Chevrolet Tahoe police cruisers held by Tim Lally Chevrolet on a state bid contract; the vehicles are budgeted and will be outfitted locally, the meeting heard.
Moraine City Council voted to have staff draft legislation for the purchase of two marked police cruisers held by Tim Lally Chevrolet under a state bid arrangement.
A city staff member told the council that the vehicles — 2024 Chevrolet Tahoes left over from a state contract — were being held for the city and that two could be purchased at state-bid pricing. The staff member said the price for the two vehicles would be $98,244 and that the city had budgeted for two marked cruisers this year. He added the council would have the vehicles outfitted locally; that change differs slightly from past practice but would still fall below the city manager’s authorization limit.
A council member moved that legislation be drawn up for the purchase. The motion passed on roll call; the transcript records Council Member Miss Witt, Council Member Mister Dougherty, Council Member Mister Miller, Council Member Miss Allen, Mayor Murphy and Council Member Miss Marcus voting yes.
Councilors did not debate alternative vendors or provide contract details during the meeting. No final purchase contract was signed at this session; the council’s action was limited to requesting legislation to be prepared for a subsequent meeting where formal approval and any additional budget details would be presented.
