Description

This item is to rescind the award for nineteen (19) police vehicles with Wade Ford in the amount of $702,980. Fleet Services received an email from Wade Ford informing us that the order for the 19 police vehicles has been canceled due to Ford cutting off production of the 2022 model year vehicles. Therefore, the vehicles will not be delivered in 2022 as promised and will need to be ordered as 2023 models. The change in model year results in a price increase of approximately $90,000.

This was originally approved by City Council on February 24, 2022 using a State of Georgia contract.
