TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Derrick Winston, Assistant Superintendent Fleet & Facilities Maintenance
DATE: October 21, 2020
SUBJECT:
Police Vehicle Replacement
PURPOSE:
To ensure that the Aurora Police Department has adequate equipment to perform their duties.
BACKGROUND:
Unit 36-131 is a 2020 Ford Utility Police Interceptor which was involved in a traffic collision which resulted in extensive damage to the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by local auto body repair companies and determined to be a total loss.
The disposition of the vehicle is pending but will either be surrendered in the event of a paid insurance claim, or stored as a donor vehicle for replacement parts and eventually sold as salvage to an auto recycling facility.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Aurora participates in the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (SPC) for the purchase of replacement and additional vehicles. This program bids vehicles for purchase allowing the City to satisfy our own bidding process with less effort and using a greater purchasing power to get lower prices.
Currie Motors, located at 10125 W. Laraway Rd., Frankfort, IL 60423, is the approved Ford Police Interceptor Utility dealer under SPC contract #152.
Due to the use of the cooperative purchasing program, local preference does not apply.
The City's Property Claims account, 601-0000-410.40-76, has available funds to satisfy the purchase of this vehicle.
Proceeds from the eventual sale of the totaled vehicle will be recorded as revenue in account: 101-0000-392.01-00.
Currie Motors has no outstanding debt with the City
