Commissioner discusses patrol vehicle quotes; motion made to select Defender Supply
Summary
Sheriff's office presented two quotes for a patrol vehicle; Speaker 1 and deputies favored a single-transaction quote from Defender Supply (~$79,797) over a two-check option; Speaker 2 moved to select Defender Supply but the transcript does not record a final vote.
Sheriff's office personnel presented procurement options for a new patrol vehicle during the Fisher County meeting.
Speaker 1 described two quotes: one from Dana that would require two separate transactions and would add about $23,329 to the vehicle cost, and a one‑transaction quote from Defender Supply totaling about $79,797. "Defender, you just tell them what you want, and they will procure the vehicle and build it," Speaker 1 said, noting Defender will deliver and upfit the vehicle.
Speaker 1 said deputies preferred Defender Supply because it streamlines procurement and delivery. He estimated that final decal and radio installation would add roughly $1,700. "Once we get the vehicle, the only thing that would be left to do would be to have it decaled with our decals on the side and put in a radio, which would be about another $1,700," Speaker 1 said.
At the end of the procurement discussion Speaker 2 moved to "go with the defender." The provided transcript segments do not record a second or a roll-call vote, so no formal approval is recorded in these excerpts.
If commissioners finalize the selection, staff indicated the county would proceed with delivery and upfitting under the quoted terms and return with documentation for the purchase and any necessary budget adjustments.
