AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE SEVEN POLICE SPECIFICATION SQUAD CARS, ONE HYBRID POLICE SPECIFICATION SQUAD CAR, TWO UNMARKED SQUADS AND ONE PRISONER TRANSPORT VAN

Background:  Each year the Sauk County Sheriff’s Office replaces squads that have high mileage in order to avoid increased maintenance costs.  The old squads are traded in to reduce the costs of the replacement squads.  We are replacing eight marked squads.  We will also be replacing two unmarked squads and one prisoner transport van; again the squads being replaced have high mileage.  Kayser Ford of Madison had the lowest bid for the seven police specification squad cars and one hybrid squad.  Larson Chevrolet of Baraboo had the lowest bid on the 2020 GMC Acadia and 2020 Chevrolet 1500.  Fedderly of Reedsburg had the lowest for the 2019 Dodge Caravan.
