Purpose

Purchase two vehicles for Sauk County Department of Human Services.

Background

The current vehicles being driven are Ford Fusions which have proven to be too small to transport Child Protective Services families due to multiple young children requiring car seats and the need to include additional family members.  The second vehicle is needed to accommodate elders and individuals with specialized adaptive equipment enter and exit a larger vehicle with bench seating.  Through the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration Transportation Program two 2019 Dodge Grand Caravans are available for $23,191.50 each which is the 2018 State Vehicle Bid price.  Ewald Automotive Group LLC, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, was the successful state bidder and will order two 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SE Wagons totaling $46,383.
