Our vehicles are used to visit and transport clients. It is <br />much easier for the worker and families when we are transporting <br />them in a Minivan due to accessibility. They are also more <br />convenient for multiple child car seats along with it being easier for <br />elderly clients to get in and out safely. The vendor we used holds <br />the State Contract so we do not need to go out for bids. Mr. Wayne <br />Kelly, of the local Chrysler Dodge Jeep Dealership, was not able to <br />compete with the dealership holding the State Contract. State <br />Contract price is $20,695.00. <br />BUDGET IMPACT <br />Social Services budgeted for the purchase of this Minivan in the FY <br />2013 -14 budget, therefore there will be no new budget impact. <br />ATTACHMENT(S) <br />1) Quote from ILDERTON Dodge Chrysler Jeep, High Point <br />2) Email from Chrysler Dodge Jeep Dealership, Sanford <br />PUBLIC HEARING No <br />PRIOR BOARD ACTION N/A <br />RECOMMENDATION Approve the purchase of a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan for the <br />Department of Social Services as presented in the amount of <br />$20,695.00. <br />
