In keeping with the City’s strategic plan to ensure high performing City organization, the City of North Miami Beach Police Department continues to devote their efforts to servicing the community and its residents with integrity, dedication and compassion in a safe and efficient manner.
The City of North Miami Beach Police Department requires the use of unmarked vehicles in their daily public safety operations. The City's intended use is primarily for undercover investigation and surveillance. In order to maintain the anonymity of the task force officers the vehicles must not have affiliation directly linked to a law enforcement agency. Due to the nature of the Investigative and undercover work involved, utmost discretion is required of the awarded contractor.
The proposed lease instrument is an open-end equity lease for twelve (12) vehicles for fourteen (14) month terms in an estimated total cost of $7,000 per vehicle for year one, for an total estimated amount of $84,000 per year. At the end of each seven (7) month period, the first twelve (12) vehicle increment will be returned and replaced by twelve (12) new vehicles for the second fourteen (14) month term. Enterprise “purchases” the vehicles back from the City. They project a re-sale value exceeding the reduced book value at the end of each fourteen month term based upon accredited ALG Residual Data (Automotive Lease Guide); and combined with Enterprise's buying and purchasing power and the manufacturer's government incentives, Enterprise projects that savings from the re-sale will cover the 20% of the City's lease cost over the previous fourteen month term.
The City identifies contracts competitively solicited and awarded by other governmental agencies as a favorable procurement method which is in line with the City’s Strategic Plan mission of providing excellent municipal services in a financially responsible manner.
