One bid from Elk Grove Auto Group for the purchase of three Dodge Chargers, and one bid from San Leandro Ford for the purchase of five Ford Interceptors, two of those five Fords are Hybrid Vehicles. The total amount of the purchase for all eight vehicles, including delivery, tax, but not including outfitting will not exceed $364,820.75.
The outfitting of the new vehicles will be completed by Priority One, which is already under contract for fleet maintenance and outfitting. Priority One will purchase and install all necessary equipment to make them a "patrol ready" vehicle.
