Recommendation
That the City Council adopts the attached resolutions:
1. Authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with LDV Custom Specialty Vehicles for the purchase of a new Mobile Command Center; and,
2. Appropriating a total of $425,470.02 for the purchase:
a. $340,332.02 appropriated from the Hayward Police Department Asset Forfeiture fund balance, and
b. Accepting and appropriating $85,138 from Bay Area Urban Area Security Initiative (BAUASI) grant funds.
SUMMARY
The Hayward Police and Fire Department’s current 1992 Mobile Command Center is beyond its serviceability and sustainability. A new Mobile Command Center is necessary to continue to meet the needs of public safety and critical incident response. The purchase will be funded from Police Department Asset Forfeiture Funds and an award from a BAUASI grant.
