TITL:
Substitute resolution relative to the competitive bidding of new squad car setup services.
ANLS:
- Analysis - This resolution authorizes the Police Department to seek competitive bids for the setup of new squad cars. Any contract with a private-sector bidder resulting from this process would require Common Council approval by resolution.
BODY:
Whereas, On April 20, 1999, the Common Council adopted Resolution File Number 990089, a resolution relative to the outsourcing or privatizing of City services and providing rules by which such outsourcing and privatization shall be conducted; and
Whereas, The Police Department has investigated the process by which the Department of Public Works -- Buildings and Fleet Division sets up new squad cars purchased by the Department and determined that opening the setup process to competitive bids could result in a significant saving of both time and money; and
Whereas, The Police Department has determined that, even if a private bidder were to take over the setup process for new squad cars, there would be no reduction in City staff, and personnel currently performing vehicle setups would instead be freed up for other tasks; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Common Council approves the Police Department's request to outsource the setup process for new squad cars pursuant to competitive bids as specified in the department's request and report which are attached to this file; and, be it
Further Resolved, That any contract with a private sector bidder resulting from this process shall require Common Council approval by resolution.
