The department says it needs 14 of the flyers to keep a minimum of 10 airworthy at any time, given downtime for maintenance. About $40.5 million of the equipment cost is expected to come from a bond financing and the department expects to raise another $16.2 million by selling the helicopters they are retiring. The helicopters have been delivered and are currently being outfitted.
