This High -Water Vehicle, will enable the Building Department to access <br />our local streets during flood events for emergency, life safety access, and damage assessment. <br />Additionally, this Resolution also seeks authorization for the purchase of an additional JEEP for use by <br />the Police Department (PD) in the amount of $46,080.00. PD's JEEP will be paid for using DOJ <br />Forfeiture Funds. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />In accordance with the Adopted Budget, the City purchased the JEEPS Kendall Jeep in the total amount <br />of $94,752.00. No dealership fees were applied to this purchase, nor taxes. The city requested approval <br />to waive the bidding procedure as dealerships on government contract were more expensive than <br />Kendall Jeep. For example, Purchasing received a government quote from Alan Jay for a 2023 Jeep <br />Gladiator for $49,128, making Kendall Jeep more competitive, albeit without a piggyback contract. The <br />City Manager found it to be in the city's best interest to purchase these jeeps that were readily <br />available, especially considering hurricane season. <br />Item Number: 10.1) <br />87 <br />
