Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Fire & Police Committee Thursday, heard a request from Police Chief Scott Edinger about the purchase of four vehicles in 2023, saying they budgeted $210,000 for the four Ford Explorers, purchased through RM Stoudt. He estimates a cost of around $217,740, which would be over the budgeted amount.

A separate quote from Guardian Fleet Safety, estimated the purchase cost would be around $188,722 with estimated trade-in and the installation of equipment.

Edinger says the Guardian Fleet Safety bid came in much lower than anticipated and recommended the city move forward with the quote.

The committee unanimously approved the Guardian Fleet Safety bid.

The meeting was shown live on CSi Cable 67, followed by replays.
