DISCUSSION
The Fleet Maintenance Division's annual Equipment Replacement Program is
included in the City's annual budget, and identifies vehicles scheduled for
replacement. Funding is monitored through a depreciation schedule
established with each department. Additionally, the Fleet Division reviews
the acquisition in accordance with the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel
Vehicle Acquisition Policy. Currently, hybrid motorcycles and vehicles are
not manufactured with a police equipped configuration in any of the listed
categories.
The Police Department uses a variety of different vehicles to perform
routine business. The Traffic Division utilizes police equipped BMW
motorcycles to enforce traffic regulations, and utility vehicles to
transport staff and equipment to field operations such as DUI/Driver's
License checkpoints. Both the Patrol and Traffic Divisions utilize full-
size police equipped vehicles for routine business. Due to their age and
condition, all nine listed 1995 to 2001 model vehicles have been approved
for replacement in the current fiscal year.

and Award for Police Vehicles
On April 16, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to Long Beach BMW
for the purchase of two police equipped BMW motorcycles. The vendor has
offered to extend the same terms and conditions for four additional police
equipped BMW motorcycles.
The Ford Motor Company has announced their intent to end production of
Crown Victoria line of police equipped full-sized vehicles, which
constitutes the majority of the Police Department fleet. As a result, the
Police Chief has requested one Dodge Charger for trial evaluation in the
Patrol Division and three Dodge Magnums for the Patrol, Traffic, and K-9
Divisions, respectively.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase
against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid
process. The County of Los Angeles' contract with Wondries Fleet Group for
a Chevrolet police equipped Tahoe and City of Los Angeles' contract with
Moss Motors for one Dodge Charger sedan and three Dodge Magnums were
awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, and meet the City's
requirements. Staff recommends the purchase of the stated vehicles.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Equipment Replacement account (no. 76-145-6641).
