Speedway council approves $43,856.50 purchase of replacement police vehicle to be covered by insurance
Summary
Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz recommended purchasing a Dodge Durango police package from John Jones Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Corydon for $43,856.50 because that dealer could supply a vehicle within about 30 days; the council approved the purchase 4–0 and Kleinhenz said the cost will be covered by insurance replacement proceeds.
Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz reviewed proposals to replace a damaged police vehicle and recommended the quote from John Jones Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Corydon at $43,856.50 because that dealer could deliver a vehicle within roughly 30 days while other bidders estimated 90–180 days or were uncertain they could supply the correct Durango police package.
"John Jones price is still the same, 43,856.50, which is about $490 higher than the next lowest, but after those discussions, John Jones is the only one that has a vehicle that could be within 30 days," Kleinhenz said. He added that the purchase will be paid as a replacement cost through the town's insurance.
Councilors moved and seconded approval of the quote and the purchase was approved by a 4–0 vote.
