~ ~ HOUSTON ~GALVESTON AREA COUNCIL Office of the Executive Director MEMORANDUM T0: Chief Executives, Area Cities FROM: Jack Stee SUBJ: Police Patrol Automobile Voluntary Joint Purchase DATE: November 17, 1982 I am writing to inform you about H-GAC's cooperative purchase of police patrol automobiles and to offer your government an opportunity to parti- cipate. H-GAC's Board yesterday approved a contract with Charlie Thomas Chrysler- Plymouth, low compliant bidder, for a basic, heavy duty police specifica- tion automobile. Bid price for the Plymouth Gran Fury was X8,058.15. About 20 bids were received from dealers throughout the region. • H-GAC planned this cooperative purchase in consultation with local law enforcement officials. Most officials indicated that they would transfer auxiliary equipment from current police patrol vehicles. This price therefore does not include light bars, radios, or trans- port cages. However, H-GAC has also accepted bids on these items, and you may order them. In addition, there are other options you may add to the basic car, such as AM radio, To participate, you should execute the enclosed interlocal agreement and purchase order. H-GAC will place an order based upon executed interlocal agreements, which constitute a firm commitment to purchase. Payment a!ill be requested at delivery, which should be in 60-90 days. This project has been developed and will be carried out solely through local cooperation. H-GAC has no grant funds to assist with the purchase. However, we hope you find the bid price advantageous since it is based upon a larger regional purchase than one city might otherwise make. If you have any questions about this program or if you need specific documentation of H-GAO's competitive bidding process, please contact Deidre Schueler, H-GAC's Public Services Manager. /cs enclosures • po OO o I~Oo~ ~~77~77 77`i1~~6~~I~~~000 ~3~700 ~l SIC ~ af~QC~Q~ aOM~0~19 4C~~{Q~ ~~~l~~g~
