BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Submitted for City Council consideration and action is the offer submitted by Caldwell Country Chevrolet to provide the San Antonio Police Department with eight Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles for a total cost of $283,120.00. These units will be purchased utilizing the Buyboard cooperative contract number 430-13. These patrol units are full sized SUVs that are used by the K-9 division and gross vehicle weight (GVW) highway regulation enforcement activities performed by the San Antonio Police Department. The functions of these vehicles require a larger layout for equipment than what is provided in the standard issue Ford Explorer Interceptor Police Pursuit Vehicle. Through extensive testing and evaluation the San Antonio Police Department and San Antonio Police Officers' (SAPOA) Labor Relations Committee (LRC) unanimously chose the Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle. The recommendation to purchase Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle was presented to the Public Safety Council Committee on April 30, 2013.




ISSUE:

This contract will provide a total of eight replacement Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles: six K-9 vehicles and two GVW highway enforcement vehicles for the Police Department.

This purchase is made in accordance with the Local Government Purchasing Cooperative passed on Ordinance 97097, dated 1/30/2003.

These vehicles will have a 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5-year/100,000 mile power train warranty.
