BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
On June 4th, 2025, Council approved the 2025/26 fiscal year budget. Within the budget, the Police Department requested the replacement of three patrol sport utility vehicles and one patrol vehicle driven by the Community Liaison Officer, in accordance with the fleet replacement policy. Attached documentation (Attachment 1 - Attachment 4) reflects the details of the vehicles being replaced.
Staff requests the authorization to replace four vehicles as follows: three patrol sport utility vehicles from Folsom Lake Ford in the amount of $175,696.32, one patrol truck from Winner Chevrolet in the amount of $68,219.86, plus an additional $94,872.64 for the emergency equipment and installation from LEHR upfitters OpCo LLC, for a total cost of $338,788.82.
Vehicles will be purchased under the Statewide Contract (1-22-23-14C) for Enforcement Vehicles, Police Pursuit. The Police Department utilizes specially equipped, police-rated utility vehicles designed to meet the rigorous operational demands of law enforcement services. These vehicles are routinely operated under conditions that exceed those encountered by standard passenger vehicles, including emergency response driving, prolonged idling, high-speed highway operations, extended patrol shifts, and deployment in a wide range of weather, road, and environmental conditions. As a result, police vehicles must be manufactured with enhanced engine, transmission, driveline, braking, suspension, and safety components capable of providing maximum performance, durability, reliability, and officer safety throughout their service life.
The recommended purchase supports the Police Department's ongoing effort to standardize its patrol vehicle fleet around vehicle platforms that have demonstrated their ability to meet these demanding operational requirements. Standardization provides numerous benefits, including improved officer familiarity with vehicle controls and equipment layouts, streamlined training, reduced maintenance complexity, increased parts availability, enhanced fleet reliability, and more efficient lifecycle replacement planning. A standardized fleet also improves operational readiness by allowing officers to transition seamlessly between vehicles during emergency situations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Vehicle baseline depreciation was approved and transferred from the General Fund to the Police Vehicle Replacement Fund, and expenses were appropriated as part of the FY 2025/26 budget adoption.
