When the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budget was adopted it included the addition of 11 sworn police personnel, which necessitated the addition of police patrol vehicles to the fleet. The addition of five (5) new, fully equipped police patrol vehicles was also included the adopted budget, and the vehicles now need to be outfitted so they can be put into service. Lehr is the company Public Works utilizes to perform new installations and changeovers for police department vehicles.

The cost of the contract with Lehr to outfit the five (5) police patrol vehicles is approximately $78,000, however, the Police department requests authorization to exceed this amount by no more than 10% ($7,800) to account for unanticipated costs related to the contracted services/equipment. The adopted FY 2019-20 budget includes funding to outfit these vehicles, so there will be no additional impact on the General Fund.

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Approve the agreement in the amount of approximately $78,000 to Stommel dba Lehr Auto to furnish all labor, materials and equipment for installation in five (5) new police vehicles; 

•  Authorize an additional amount not to exceed $7,800 for unanticipated costs related to the contracted services/equipment; and

• Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements on behalf of the City and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto.
