Re: Purchase replacement for one (1) 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility
from FY 2021 Capital Equipment Reserve Fund (CERF)
The purpose of this communication is to give additional information related needed to replace one (1)
2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility that was not listed on the FY2021 vehicle replacement schedule.
Unfortunately this vehicle was totaled in an accident on July 12, 2020. The cost to CERF will be
$49,516.50. Funds are available in CERF due to several cost savings on several items in FY 2020. It is
also anticipated additional escrows or supplemental appropriations will be used to transfer additional
funds into CERF during the first quarter of FY 2021.
Pursuant to NRO 5-127.1 D Capital Equipment Reserve Fund, which states: “During that fiscal year,
the city may purchase that equipment, or equipment that will serve the same stated purpose as the listed
equipment as long as the price does not vary by more than ten percent of the estimated replacement
value. All purchases from the Capital Equipment Reserve Fund must comply with the city’s purchasing
approval process. Any other requests to use funds from the Capital Equipment Reserve Fund must be
approved by the board of aldermen.”
I respectfully request the approval from the Board of Aldermen for the purchase of a 2020 Ford Police
Interceptor Utility from Municipal Vehicles, Marlborough MA. for the Police department as
requested, This vehicle will replace the 2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, which was totaled in a
recent accident.
