Cost: $132,687.40

Funding Source: General Fund
The Fire Department was authorized to acquire the CRR unit from the County. With this new program, they were approved to purchase a support vehicle. This new program was approved in September by the Council.
Other notes to support this item:
This Is for the CARES fleet addition.
We went with National Auto Fleet for a few reasons:
1. They have close association with the utility body that the Fire department wanted.
2. They were the only vendor who would get the order in before the Ford order-window cut off.
3. Their pricing was in line with competitors and was below the budgeted purchase price.
Going with any other vendor would have increased cost and delayed delivery until the next model year.
This contract was established through a competitively solicited cooperative process.
