This amount is sufficient to accommodate labor for set-up and <br />transfer of usable equipment along with purchases of necessary replacement capital items for the <br />squads. It is intended that the squads be purchased through the joint Hennepin County <br />Purchasing Cooperative of which Ramsey is a member. The 2000 bid for police squads were <br />awarded to Superior Ford. The cost for three squad cards from Superior Ford totals $65,801.03. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if after the three cars are purchased if the Police Department will be back <br />on the regular continuos rotation of their cars. <br /> <br />Police Chief Gustafson replied that the plan is to purchase three squads this year and then two in <br />2001, and three in 2002. After 2002 he is unsure of what the needs will be depending on the size <br />of the department and mileage of the cars. He noted that it would not be until 2003 before they <br />would consider more than three new squads. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Hendriksen, seconded by Mayor Gamec, to recommend City Council <br />authorize the Police Department to order three 2000 Crown Victoria Ford squad cars from <br />Superior Ford at the bid price of $65,801.03. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
