RE:Request for Authorization to Outfit Forensics Unit Cargo Van

REQUEST:

I respectfully request Council authorization for the purchase and installation of interior shelving, storage compartments, lighting, power inverter, exterior ladder rack and steps for the police department Forensics Unit cargo van at a cost of $14,234.00.



DISCUSSION:

The police department’s new Forensics Unit cargo van requires interior storage compartments and shelving, interior and exterior lighting to make it functional. These items were not included with the original request to purchase the van as it was a completely new body design and the type of storage compartments need were not yet available.

The included equipment includes a complete interior wall package, passenger compartment partition, parts bins, cabinets, LED lighting, outside strobe lighting, commercial grade power inverter, access steps and a double exterior ladder rack.

The equipment and installation will be made from Septronics International, Inc., DBA:  Extreme Truck and Van Equipment – 5835 Trouble Creek Road, New Port Richey, Florida, 34652.



RECOMMENDATION:

I recommend approval to purchase and have installed the equipment described above to outfit the police department’s Forensics Unit cargo van by Extreme Truck and Van Equipment at a total cost of $14,234.00.



BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

I am requesting authorization to use Forfeiture Fund monies for this purchase.
