MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM: Dave Ross, Police Chief
DATE: December 22, 2023
SUBJECT: Resolution 2024-01 - Purchase of Police Vehicles with Fleet
Replacement Fund
This Resolution authorizes the purchase of two Ford Police Responders (Trucks) for use as police
vehicles utilizing the City's Fleet Replacement Fund for the purchase. Additionally, it authorizes
the purchase of the vehicles through Kendal Ford, under the Alaska State equipment fleet contract
for police vehicles. The total cost of the two vehicles is $106,458.
In accordance with the City's fleet replacement plan, the police department was scheduled to
replace three police vehicles in FY24. The replacement plan calls for two trucks and one SUV to
be purchased in FY24. The State of Alaska fleet contract pricing has recently become available
on the Ford Police Responder (Truck). We anticipate evaluating SUV options under the State
contract in the near future, and therefore the purchase of an SUV is not included in this resolution.
KMC 7.15.070(b)(4) allows the City of Kenai to purchase equipment without giving an opportunity
for competitive bidding if the equipment is purchasable under the contract of another government
agency in which contract the City is authorized to participate.
Thank you for your consideration.
