Mesquite Police Department fleet vehicles are occasionally involved in accidents while performing law enforcement related duties. The proposed units were evaluated for repairs, and it was determined that the units sustained irreparable damage. These units were assigned to Police Operations and are critical pieces of equipment to maintain the integrity and safety of the public. 

 

Replacement Units: 

2016 Dodge Charger                                                                Unit No. 1600167

2018 Dodge Charger                                                                Unit No. 1800115

2022 Dodge Charger                                                                Unit No. 2200142

2022 Dodge Charger                                                                Unit No. 2200208

 

Staff has located five Dodge Chargers with an estimated delivery of March 2024 to replace units totaled prior to their anticipated retirement dates.

 

Financial Implications

All recommended units will be purchased through the General Liability Fund, with all remaining funds being used to install lights, sirens, and other required emergency equipment.

 

Recommended/Desired Action

Staff recommends award to Grapevine Dodge Chrysler Jeep.
