Rockford police to spend $2 million on new squad cars from Rock River Ford

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — Rockford Police will purchase $2 million of new squad vehicles from Rock River Ford, saving $196,590 off a bid by another Illinois dealership.

On Monday, the City Council awarded the contract to Rock River Ford, in Rockford, whose bid of $2,011,730 undercut the Currie Motors price of $2,208,320.
