Morrow City reviews multiple police vehicle purchases, upfitting and surplus plans
Summary
At a May 12 work session, Morrow City Council reviewed proposed purchases of Ford Police Interceptor utility vehicles from three dealers, approved a vehicle upfitting services request, and authorized disposition of four surplus vehicles; council also ratified an emergency gas service extension.
Morrow City Council reviewed several procurement items related to the police fleet during its May 12, 2026, work session, city staff said.
City Manager Landry Merkison presented three separate purchase proposals for 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility vehicles: two from Stivers South Ford totaling $97,040.00, two from Allan Vigil Ford totaling $99,000.00, and one from Brannen Motor Company priced at $48,500.00. Mr. Merkison also presented a request for vehicle upfitting services for four police vehicles through Interceptor Public Safety for $69,716.75 and a proposal to declare four police vehicles surplus and dispose of them via GovDeals.
Mr. Merkison stated the items were submitted for Council consideration and to authorize the mayor to execute necessary documents. The agenda also included a ratification of an emergency non-residential gas extension contract with Atlanta Gas Light Company for service installation at 5900 Reynolds Road for $14,633.18; Mr. Merkison presented that ratification to the council.
Mayor John J. Lampl II asked whether any council members had questions; the council indicated they had none. The transcript does not record a formal vote, motion text, or final authorization for the listed purchases and contracts, and does not record procurement selection rationale or funding source details.
Next steps: the agenda indicated these items were before the council for approval and authorization to execute documents; the transcript does not record whether Council adopted the motions or directed staff to proceed.
