MEMORANDUM
Date: May 15, 2020
TO: Brian Koral, City Administrator
FROM: Chris Skinrood, Police Chief
SUBJECT: Replacement Vehicle Purchase
Mr. Koral:
As you are aware, our 2018 Ford Explorer patrol vehicle was totaled on
May 4, 2020, when it was struck while parked on the shoulder of the
interstate on I-635 north and the Missouri River Bridge. The vehicle
amount recovered from our insurance company was $XX,XXX; the
amount does not include any damaged emergency equipment.
The cost for a replacement 2021 Ford Explorer is $36,000 purchased
through Shawnee Mission Ford, the regional MARC dealership.
Because of a model year change, there are additional costs for
replacement items such as the plastic rear seat, lighting, and prisoner
partition as well as other vehicle equipment. The majority of the
equipment will not fit the new vehicle. This cost does not include the
installation of equipment or certain equipment replacement due to
model change. The additional cost for those items is approximately
$11,50o.00. The total request is for $47,500.
