Village approves purchase order for three police vehicles to secure spring 2027 delivery window
Summary
Board approved a purchase order with Elmer's Ford for three police interceptors totaling $158,931, with staff citing limited Ford production windows and the advantage of government pricing.
Public Works/engineering staff recommended placing an order now for three planned replacement police vehicles to secure current government pricing and meet Ford's limited production windows. The vehicles were described as police interceptors with warranties and a planned delivery in spring 2027 if ordered during the current window.
"Staff recommends ordering now due to the Ford's limited window, to, place an order for police interceptors, which are only two times a year," Engineering Manager Brad Hargett said. The total cost presented for the three vehicles was $158,931; the board approved a purchase order to Elmer's Ford by roll call (6–0). Staff noted approval will commit future funds in 2027.
Next steps: staff will place the order so vehicles arrive in spring of 2027; the board acknowledged this will require committing budget capacity in the 2027 fiscal year.
