Request by the Office of the Purchasing Agent for approval to purchase from Chiefs Auto Group used law enforcement vehicles for various Harris County law enforcement agencies in an amount not to exceed $350,000.
end
Background and Discussion:
Due to continued delays in obtaining law enforcement vehicles from the manufacturers, Fleet Services and Purchasing have been exploring other alternatives to supplement vehicles at a lower cost instead of spending more to rehabilitate older vehicles. Most rehabs average $12,000 per unit plus the normal cost of operation (TCO). The reconditioned vehicles come with 80,000 to 150,000 miles with a 3 month/4,500 mile warranty along with all services completed before taking ownership of these vehicles. Most of these vehicles come with vault boxes (weapons storage), prisoner transport dividers, center consoles, push bars and, in some cases, lighting. This option would reduce and/or eliminate wait times due to the lack of parts to repair older and wrecked vehicles.
