E-13
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MIKE BERTELSEN, CHIEF OF POLICE
DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FOUR (4) 2022 FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR VEHICLES
BACKGROUND:
As part of the ongoing fleet management program at the Azusa Police Department, police vehicles are
replaced or retired out of the fleet when appropriate and deemed necessary. The Police Department is
replacing four (4) vehicles and needs to purchase four (4) 2022 Ford Police Interceptor SUV’s from
National Auto Fleet Group in Watsonville, California under National Joint Powers Authority Contract#
120716-NAF.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions:
1) Approve the purchase four (4) 2022 Ford Police Interceptor SUV vehicles from National Auto
Fleet Group, 490 Auto Center Drive, Watsonville, CA 95076 in an amount not to exceed
$154,671.65; and
2) Approve the purchase of this vehicle based on the competitive bid process completed by the
County of Los Angeles as authorized under AMC Section 2-521, from which they ordered Ford
Police Interceptor Vehicles under NJPA contract #120716-NAF.
ANALYSIS:
Each year the Police Department budgets to replace high mileage patrol vehicles. This year’s fleet
rotation involves replacing four (4) vehicles from the fleet to reduce the annual capital outlay for patrol
vehicles, while providing safe, reliable and up-to-date equipment for patrol officers and other public
safety personnel. Not only do high mileage vehicles become expensive to maintain, but they are also a
safety hazard to officers and the public. The vehicles to be removed from the fleet are beyond the
warranty and in need of retirement from patrol deployment.
