The Public Works; Parks, Arts and Recreations; and Police Departments have the need to acquire the following vehicles: one 2021 Ford F350, one 2021 Ford F450, one 2021 Ford Transit full-size electrician cargo van, one 2021 Ford Transit full-size plumbing cargo van and seven hybrid 2021 Ford Police Interceptors.
Fleet Operations recommends replacement because the ones currently in operation have reached the end of their life cycles. Fleet Operations conducted extensive research for these replacements. Utilizing a cooperative purchase contract through Washington State Department of Enterprise Services, Columbia Ford, Inc. of Longview, Washington, is the one vendor that can provide the replacement vehicles which best matches the City’s needs for the best value. The total cost of these vehicles through Columbia Ford, Inc. is $529,800.67.
