CR 99-11 Approve Purchase Chevrolet Tracker For Parking Enforcement
e
January 27, 1999 Council Report 99-11
APPROVE PURCHASE OF CHEVROLET TRACKER FOR PARKING ENFORCMENT
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: "Approve purchase of a Chevrolet
Tracker from Midwav Chevrolet for a purchase price not to exceed $14,000."
Overview
The parking enforcement vehicle is scheduled for replacement in 1999. Staff
recommends replacement with a more versatile vehicle. Staff has located a vehicle for
$13,899. Because this vehicle could be sold pending this action, staff recommends
council pre-approve the purchase of an alternate vehicle, not to exceed $14,000.
Primary Issues to Consider
. . Does the current vehicle need to be replaced?
. What type of vehicle best meets the program/department needs?
. Can a replacement be purchased within budget constraints?
. Is there a use elsewhere in the city for the existing vehicle?

. Analysis of Issues
. Why does the current vehicle need to be replaced?
The 3-wheel "Go-Fer" is five years old, and was used by the parking enforcement
officer. It is in relatively good operating condition, but due to its design it poses
problems for continued use by the police department for parking enforcement. The
3-wheel configuration makes the vehicle unstable at speeds over 35+ mph.
Operators are required to have a motorcycle endorsement to operate on city streets.
It is difficult to maintain adequate heat in the cab for winter operation, and it is a
single-occupancy vehicle. The use of this vehicle is extremely limited and staff
recommends replacement with a vehicle that allows more efficient use.
. What type of vehicle best meets the program/department needs?
Staff researched several options for replacement vehicles. We received positive
feedback from business owners on the use of a marked police vehicle for parking
enforcement. We also preferred a 4WD utility vehicle for winter use, The city of
Minneapolis recently requested bids for a Chevrolet Tracker for parking
enforcement. This vehicle is consistent with our preferences.
. . Can a replacement be purchased within budget constraints?
The 1999 equipment replacement budget for this item is $14,000. The approved
contract price for the 1999 model is $17,599.00. Staff has located an equivalent
vehicle in a 1998 model that is available for $13,899.
. Is there a use elsewhere in the city for the existing vehicle?
The Parks Department would use the existing vehicle. See CR 99-15.
