Nearly $260,000 OK'd For Four New Police Vehicles In Holmdel

HOLMDEL, NJ — The Township Committee on Tuesday night awarded a contract to
Gentilini Motors of Egg Harbor for $257,788.22 for the purchase of four vehicles for the Police Department fleet.

The quote, in total, was for four 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles, all with police vehicle specifications.

The vehicles come with all sorts of needed options as part of the police package, such as a light flasher system and headlamps and sirens, among other items such as cameras. They are four-wheel drive and have gasoline engines.

One resident asked about the criteria used for replacing township vehicles.

Township Administrator Jay Delaney said that for patrol vehicles, mileage was a major factor. For the Department of Public Works, age was more of a factor. In either case, issues with service could also affect when a replacement is needed.

He said lead times in getting delivery have improved since the supply line problems of the COVID period. He said these vehicles would be paid for from this year's budget.
