SUMMARY OF REQUEST
This report seeks Council approval to purchase one, model year 2001, Kawasaki 1000
Police Motorcycle. Payment for this purchase will be accomplished with budgeted funds
previously approved for this purchase in FY 2000/2001.
In the 2000/2001 budget the Police Department identified the need to replace a 1996
police motorcycle that has reached the end of its service life. Council approved this
replacement and budgeted $15,000.00 for this purpose.
Staff researched various vendors forlfully equipped police motorcycles and found that
only VIP Kawasaki, 7241 Orangethorpe, Buena Park, CA, 90621, offers a fully equipped
police motorcycle. VIP was also identified as the vendor who provided Kawasaki police
motorcycles, which meet our specifications, at the lowest price, to most other Orange
County police departments, including Buena Park, Cypress, La Palma and Los Alamitos.
VIP Kawasaki has provided all of the our current fleet of Kawasaki motorcycles and their
service and support has been outstanding.
VIP Kawasaki quoted a bid of $13,357.60 for a fully equipped 2001 Kawasaki police
motorcycle that meets all of the specifications required by Seal Beach Police Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funds were budgeted for FY 2000/2001 in order to effect this purchase.
