RESOLUTION NO.          -15

AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF ONE VEHICLE

FOR THE SAUK COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES

             WHEREAS, the current vehicle being driven is a 1998 Ford Taurus with over 120,000 miles and has experienced extensive repairs and can no longer be considered safe and reliable; and,

              WHEREAS, it has been determined that a substantial cost savings can be obtained by using Department owned and operated cars versus paying mileage to employees; and,

             WHEREAS, we have contacted the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration Transportation Program and find that we can purchase a vehicle through the State of Wisconsin Program, Vendor Net, which uses the statewide bid procurement process to purchase their vehicles; and,

            WHEREAS, through the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration Transportation Program the 2016 four-cylinder, Ford Fusion, is available for $17,169.00 which is the 2015 State Vehicle Bid price; and,

             WHEREAS, Ewald Hartford Ford, Hartford, Wisconsin was the successful state bidder and has a 2016 Ford Fusion available for that price.

             NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors met in regular session, that the Department of Human Services be authorized to purchase a 2016 Ford Fusion from Ewald Ford of Hartford, Wisconsin for the cost of $17,169.00.

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on November 10, 2015.
