The County was approved for 12 Ford Escape Hybrids or similar vehicles by the Vehicle Steering Committee for Fiscal Year 2026. As of 2026, the hybrid version of the Ford Escape is no longer manufactured, and only the gasoline version is available. As a result, a bid solicitation was prepared for alternative vehicles such as the Ford Bronco Sport (non-hybrid). The County continues to make every effort to purchase hybrid vehicles whenever they are available from the manufacturer.
The vendor was selected pursuant to a publicly advertised Invitation for Bids (IFB) in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Sutton Ford was the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder.
