Authorization~
REQUEST: Police Department requesting the Commission to give approval to
purchase used Ford Crown Victoria police vehicles from San Antonio Texas.
PURPOSE: To inform and seek the consent of the Commission to purchase a minimum
of ten used police vehicles to replace high mileage vehicles exceeding 100,000 miles
currently in the fleet.
CONSIDERATIONS: In 1999 and 2000 the Commission approved the current
replacement schedule of vehicles through the purchase of used police vehicles at the San
Antonio auction. The purchase of used Ford Crown Victorias has proven to be a
successful venture. All of these vehicles currently are performing very well at very minimal
cost to the city.
The Police Department currently has ten vehicles with over 100,000 miles on them. By the
end of October 2001 an additional five vehicles will be beyond that mileage. The age of
the vehicles that should be replaced range from 5 to 10 years old.
The below listed vehicles are slated for immediate replacement;
1995 Ford Crown Victoria PD#59
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#54
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#53
1995 Ford Crown Victoria PD#57
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#86
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#83
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#85
1993 Ford Crown Victoria PD#72
1993 Ford Crown Victoria PD#73
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#84

The below listed vehicles are slated for replacement October 2001;
1992 Ford Mustang PD#74
1994 Ford Crown Victoria PD#58
1996 Ford Crown Victoria PD#60
1996 Ford Crown Victoria PD#61
1991 Ford Mustang PD#71
104,526
104,505
99,182
94,942
93,360
Because of the combined mileage and age, the condition of the vehicles are rapidly
deteriorating causing the city considerable repair costs. Logistically, these older high
mileage vehicles are no longer dependable.
By purchasing the requested vehicles the Police Department will be able to deliver quality
service to the citizens of Winter Springs at very reasonably expenditure of funds. Under
the current plan we will be purchasing 1998 and 1999 Ford Crown Victorias with
approximately 60,000 miles on the odometer similar to the quality of the vehicles
purchased in 1999 and 2000.
FUNDING: Funding based upon Commission approval from the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the purchase of a minimum often used vehicles
from San Antonio Texas for $100,000.00
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
Immediately upon approval by Commission.
