Subject: 2011 / 2012 Budget Vehicle Purchase For Stormwater.
Background Summary:
The approved Stormwater Division's 2011/2012 budget included funding to replace City vehicle #402, a
1997 Ford Explorer 4x4 with a new all- wheel -drive Ford Escape Hybrid SUV. The City traditionally
purchases vehicles and equipment made to order through bids from the Florida Sheriffs Association's
annual contract, however the Hybrid Escape is not listed in this year's contract. In checking with Ford,
the current Escape model is being updated and changed for the 2013 model year. Due to the model
changes, regular production of the Escape is being discontinued in early 2012, with the Hybrid
production already halted. With the end of the Hybrid production, the only available vehicles are sitting
on dealer lots.
Public Works has contacted several Ford dealerships and all- wheel -drive Hybrid Escapes are still
available throughout Ford's network of dealers. We are requesting Commission approval to purchase a
new or used recent model Ford Hybrid Escape for up to $34,000.00 from the most responsive Ford
dealer. The total requested cost is based on initial dealer quotes and is funded through the budgeted
$32,000.00 for this vehicle plus an additional $2,000.00 from the savings of other equipment purchases
in the Stormwater Division.
Issue:
Request the City Commission to approve acquisition of the budgeted 2011/2012 out -right purchase
Stormwater SUV vehicle replacement.
Recommendations
Recommend approval to purchase a new or used recent model all- wheel -drive Ford Escape Hybrid SUV
for up to $34,000.00 from the most responsive Ford dealer and authorize City Manager to approve a
purchase order for said vehicle up to the approved amount.

Financial Impact:

additional $2,000.00 from the savings of other equipment purchases in the Stormwater Division.
