AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE ONE (1) 2023 FORD BRONCO FOR
THE DUPAGE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY'S OFFICE FROM FRIENDLY FORD
(CONTRACT AMOUNT $35,355.26)
resolution
WHEREAS, the DuPage County State’s Attorney's Office is adding a new Investigator to its staff, and all Investigators require a vehicle to perform their duties; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Transportation is tasked with purchasing vehicles for all County departments and County elected officials; and
WHEREAS, the Illinois bidding statute (55 ILCS 5/5-1022(c)) and the DuPage County Procurement Code (2-355) together allow for the direct purchase of vehicles when there are extreme supply chain interruptions affecting the availability, supply or delivery schedule of necessary vehicles and there is a history of an inability to place orders; and
WHEREAS, over the past year, the Division of Transportation has experienced an inability to place and obtain orders in vehicle co-ops, along with cancellations of vehicle orders; and
WHEREAS, since no cooperatives are accepting new vehicle orders, the Division of Transportation checked with three vendors for availability and Friendly Ford has a Ford Bronco it will hold for the County until June 13, 2023; and
WHEREAS, said Ford Bronco is $35,355.26, which is a competitive price and fair market value.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the DuPage County Board approves the purchase and delivery of one (1) Ford Bronco for the DuPage County State’s Attorney's Office from Friendly Ford, 333 E. Irving Park Rd., Roselle, IL 60172.
