Authorization of Repairs to Equipment g1460 (Police)I 1 of 2
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Police Department and the Purchasing Division recommends that the City
Council award a bid to Philpott Ford in the amount of $7632.88 for the repair of
Equipment # 1460, a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria, as the bid with the best value for
the City.
BACKGROUND:
On 1-26-03, an officer was involved in a wreck at Savannah Ave and 19th Street, where another
vehicle disregarded a traffic control device (redlight) and was struck by the police unit. The
vehicle at fault, was not covered by any insurance. The Police Department asked four area
dealers to submit bids for the repair of the police unit and received three bids.
Philpott Ford
Energy Country Ford
Allen Samuel's Dodge
$7632.88
$6931.58
$5089.33
In comparing the bids submitted, Allen Samuel's bid is incomplete and did not include a
complete list of damaged items that will be repaired or replaced. The bid submitted by Energy
Country Ford included parts that are reconditioned instead of new. It also included repairing
parts where other bids would have the parts replaced and our preference is to replace those
parts.
Philpott Ford's bid is the most complete bid submitted and represents the best value for the City
and will minimize the need for a change order.
