701 W. SAMPLE STREET <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601-2890 <br />PHONE 574/ 235-9311 <br />FAx 574/ 288-0268 <br />CITY OF SOUTH BEND PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br />SOUTH BEND POLICE DEPARTMENT <br />SCOTT A. RUSZKOWSKI, CHIEF OF POLICE <br />Board of Public Works <br />City of South Bend, Indiana <br />Honorable Board Members, <br />Date: January 11 th, 2019 <br />The South Bend Police Department is requesting Board approval for the special purchase of <br />an undercover vehicle for our ATF Task Force. The vehicle will be used for firearm and drug <br />related investigations. Due to the nature of the vehicle use, the type, descriptors and <br />dealership must be kept confidential as this would pose an officer safety risk if this <br />information should become public knowledge. The sale price of the vehicle is $29,498.75, we <br />have a trade in allowance of $7000. The balance paid from the 2019 Police Federal Drug <br />Enforcement Account (equipment purchases/motor equipment) would be no more than <br />$22,498.75. I have found two other comparable vehicles which sale price was $30,998.00 and <br />$29,981.00 The trade in vehicle is an undercover vehicle. <br />The purpose of the letter is to request the Board to approve the purchase and approve the <br />release of the trade-in vehicle. And, to approve the purchase as a Special Purchase under IC <br />5-22-10-9. I believe you may have similar letters on file for previous requests. <br />Thank You,1, <br />" " I <br />2/C of Pt ii <br />Div.
