Background and justification:
The aging 2009 and 2010 Chevrolet Impala's of the Police Department fleet have reached a point
where they are too unsafe to be operated in a patrol setting. Many have severe mechanical issues
and the costs of repairing the vehicles is far more than the vehicles are worth. Out of the four
Impala's, one is mechanically sound enough to be in operation, but is currently out of service
awaiting repairs to its electrical system. Also,the equipment inside the vehicles has grown obsolete
for today's uses.
The vehicles will be purchased under the State of Alaska contract through Alaska Sales and Service
in Anchorage, Alaska. The cost of the four vehicles under the contract is $165,356.
Procomm Alaska is the city's provider of radio equipment and they will be utilized for the in-car
radio purchase at a cost of $24,680.45.
The IT Director has, in accordance with code, selected Dell Technologies as the computer of choice
for the city based on price, quality, and service. Dell will be utilized to purchase in-car computers for
$8,300.91.
Alaska Safety is the only service within hundreds of miles who outfits police vehicles. They will be
utilized for most of the equipment and upfit of the vehicles. This will include items like, prisoner
cages, gun locks, radar installation, video installation, console reconfiguration, all emergency
lighting, and labor. This purchase for all four vehicles will cost $57,220.
One last expense will be the graphic detailing of the vehicles to identify them as Seward Police
Department vehicles.The purchase of the decals will be through"The Printer"in Anchorage,Alaska
for $2,615. They have provided the police department decals for decades. The installation of the
decals will be done by Alaska Safety and the labor cost is included in the previously listed price.
