Background
The Fire Department seeks approval to purchase a new Logistics vehicle to support the newly added part-time logistics position, utilizing the approved budget funds.
The new Logistics vehicle (2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Double Cab 2WD) will support the newly added part-time logistics position and has a budget of $62,000.
The funds will cover vehicle purchases as well as necessary components such as special hazard lights, graphics, and accessories. This purchase will be made through the Florida Sheriffs Association Light Vehicle Contract FSA 24-Vel-32, effective from October 1, 2024, through September 30, 2025. Due to potential supply chain challenges, we are prepared to adjust our vehicle selection as necessary, prioritizing similar models that meet operational requirements and ensuring we remain within the approved budgets. Attached for reference is a quote for the vehicle and the referenced contract.
