Request to Award a Contract for Invitation for Bids No. 121819-Replacement of Three Sheriff's Office Patrol Vehicles

Background Information

The vehicles mentioned in the agenda request will be needed in the fleet in the coming year for the Sheriff's Office for Patrol use. These vehicles would replace units (B-116, B-121, and B-127) that are costing a lot of money in repairs and fuel and are at or above 200,000 miles. Vehicles (B-116, B-121, and B-127) will be used as a trade-in to prevent increasing the size of the fleet and will be disposed of at auction.
