1. Request from the Sheriffs Department for Approval of Budget
Amendment #48 for the Purchase of Two Vehicles at a Cost of $52,203.13: During
the agenda briefing, Purchasing Agent Dean Lail and Chief Deputy Rick Dowdle said,
originally, it was intended for the sheriff's department to lease two vehicles; however,
this method was found to be less cost effective than an actual purchase. Lail said the
lease amortized the cost of the vehicles by 50% over the first year, and the residual was
amortized over the second year's option, if exercised. Mr. Lail said the staff was
recommending for the vehicles to be purchased from the following funding sources:
$41,996 from the sheriffs vehicle budget (Acct. #650000)
+15,000 from seized funds (budget amendment will be for this amount)
S56,996
Chief Deputy Dowdle gave the following description of the two vehicles:
• One Sheriff's Emergency Response Team (SERT) Vehicle—
Crew type cab (four door) and a specially built box body at a
costof................................................................. $26,546.00
• One full-size delivery truck to be used for the transporting of
food for the jail — vehicle body is on a 3/a ton series Chevrolet
truck chassis (The vehicle will have to accommodate meal carts
and other equipment.) The cost will be ........................ 24,125.00
• Use tax and tag fees ................................................ 1.532.13
$52,203.13
Lail said that due to the vehicles being specially configured for use as test
vehicles, and the sheriffs department had been using them for the past three months,
that they would fall under the "exception category" of the state statute. Lail said this
permitted the vehicles to be purchased without going through the bid process. He said
Randy Marion Chevrolet had supplied the vehicles.
