The <br />Santa Ana Police Department (SAPD) possesses a fleet of 245 vehicles, with 137 of <br />them designated as patrol vehicles assigned to the Patrol Division of the Field <br />Operations Bureau. Generally, SAPD utilizes Ford Police Interceptor vehicles, which are <br />similar to Ford Explorers, as the standard vehicle in Field Operations. However, SAPD <br />is currently seeking an alternative vehicle that can better accommodate officers with <br />larger physical statures. <br />After thorough evaluation, the Police Department concluded that a Ford F-150 Police <br />Responder truck would be the most suitable option to meet their requirements. SAPD <br />collaborated with the Public Works Agency's Fleet Services Division and the Finance <br />and Management Services Agency's Purchasing Division to provide the necessary <br />specifications and initiate the procurement process. <br />The Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 23-075, pertaining to the acquisition of a Ford F-150 <br />Responder truck for the Police Department, was publicly advertised on April 25, 2023, <br />through the City's online bid management and publication system.
