Contract: Police Vehicle Upfitting (Vehicle Lighting Solutions)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve purchase and authorize the Executive Director to execute the contract and associated disbursements with Vehicle Lighting Solutions for police vehicle upfittings in the amount of $280,000.
BACKGROUND:
The police department has a white fleet of 85 vehicles. Between 2017-2018 the PD added FTEs, but patrol vehicles were not budgeted at that time. This resulted in vehicles beyond their useful life (around 200k miles) being kept in service. A separate board item was submitted for the purchase of 17 vehicles. This procurement is for the upfitting of those vehicles with specialized emergency equipment (lighting, sirens, radios, spotlights, secure storage, etc.) for use by the UTA police department. The vehicle purchase is a separate contract #17307AB.
DISCUSSION:
UTA Police vehicles are an integral part of the safety and security of the UTA system. These upfittings are necessary for police response to lifesaving emergencies, criminal activity, accidents and other calls for service.
