e) Purchase of Extended Service Contracts for Police Vehicles
PAGE 6
The Police Department recently purchased fourteen new Ford
police cars. Ford Motor Company offers an extended service
contract that covers virtually all maintenance on the vehicles.
All of our current fleet are covered by the extended contract.
Our best estimate is that the service plan saved the Police
Department at least $40,000 in repair and upkeep of the Police
fleet during FY 91/92. Recommendation is to:
i) Find that Ford Motor Company is the sole source for
the extended service warranty,'and
ii) Allow the Police and Maintenance Departments to
cooperate in the purchase of the contracts. The
costs would be $1,300 and $840, respectively, for
13 black and white police cars, and $1,450 would be
charged to the Police Department for the C.S.O.
warranty. The total for the Police Department (tax
not applicable) would be $18,350.. The total for the
Maintenance Department would be $10,920.
