AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Procurement Contract/Change Order

RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute Purchase Order 17485 and associated disbursements with Young Auto Group under State Contract MA3800 to procure 16 new patrol vehicles for the amount of $820,496.

BACKGROUND:
UTA’s Police Department currently has a fleet of 85 vehicles and many of those vehicles are past their useful service life with several vehicles being more than 12 years-old and with milage ranging from 180 - 225,000 miles. These new vehicles will replace our older vehicles.

DISCUSSION:
UTA Staff is recommending approval of Purchase Order 17485 to replace older police vehicles nearing the end of their useful life.
UTA’s Police Department vehicles are an integral part of the safety and security of the UTA system. They provide a mobile working office for police officers in the field and are a critical tool for officers’ response to lifesaving emergencies, criminal activity, accidents and other calls for service.
