This contract award will provide 25 Ford Police Interceptor vehicles for the Police <br />Department. These vehicles are equipped with grille LED lighting, siren and speaker pre- <br />wiring, rear auxiliary lighting, and other features designed to keep officers safe. Once the <br />vehicles are received, they are equipped with the required radios, mobile digital <br />computers, light bars, and additional equipment. With these timelines, it is expected that <br />the new vehicles will go into service in summer/fall 2022. <br />This purchase will allow the Police Department to surplus 15 vehicles that have reached <br />the end of their useful life and add 10 vehicles to accommodate new officers that have <br />completed the Field Training Officer Program. Ford has an approximate four-month lead <br />time for the delivery of these vehicles from receipt of order. <br />On June 15, 2021, the City Council awarded a purchase order to Fairway Ford Sales, Inc. <br />for the purchase of three Ford Police Interceptor vehicles.
