Contract AwardEquipmentDetected Jun 24, 2026

The June 24, 2026 Village Board agenda includes an item for the Mayor to approve the purchase of a 2027 Dodge Durango to replace Police Department Vehicle #46. This indicates the village is moving forward with a specific vehicle acquisition for its law enforcement fleet, likely through an existing purchasing program or dealer relationship. While the agenda does not list the vendor, price, or contract vehicle, the decision to buy a 2027 model Durango shows East Hazel Crest is actively refreshing police fleet assets.Vendors offering police vehicle upfitting, maintenance, accessories, or future fleet planning services can use this as an entry point to discuss installation of equipment, warranty services, and planning for the next replacement cycle across the broader fleet.

This is an approval agenda item; vendor and purchasing vehicle (state contract, cooperative, or local dealer) are not identified in the agenda.

Pre-RFP

The packet includes an ezEV suitability assessment for Wayzata's fleet and a Public Works vehicle replacement schedule. It flags multiple future replacements, including a 2026 Ford F-550 with aerial bucket, 2027 dump truck and 3/4 ton pickup, and later pickups and facilities vehicles through 2031. The assessment recommends EV options such as the Chevrolet Blazer EV Pursuit, Ford F-150 Lightning Pro, and Chevy Bolt EUV for many units, which is useful pre-bid intelligence for fleet and charging planning.
