Meeting Date:	09/14/2015
Unit 15-28
Submitted for:	Ramiro Martinez	Submitted By:	Ramiro Martinez
Department:	Constable Precinct 2

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the Purchasing agent to purchase and install a new or rebuilt replacement engine for Unit 15-28 a 2010 Charger (46,200 miles), at Laredo Dodge in the amount of $10,700.39. [Account #001-0114-9201 (Claims Paid)]

Issue: On May 21, 2015 Laredo streets were flooded due to continues rains. Unit 15-28 was driven through a water puddle and the engine stalled and wouldn't start. It is believed by motor pool that the intake was filled with water because the engine in the chargers are low to the ground. Another contributing factor might be the cold water touching the hot engine. The engine failed to start due to engine being locked up from water damage.

Solution: The solution will be to replace the engine with a new or rebuilt engine. If approved the funds will be paid from Claims Paid Account
#001-014-9201.

Result: Constable Pct. 2 will continue to utilize this unit in its fleet for law enforcement purposes.
