L COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO - (11/04/2008) <br /> s DEPARTMENT: Fire <br /> M AGENDA ITEM: Approval for purchase of a Type I Pumper Fire Engine <br /> Approved By: Date: <br /> Department Head: Darrell Willis <br /> Finance Director: Mark Woodfill <br /> City Manager: Steve Norwood �j � ,�;,,,, /0/3�/�g <br /> Background <br /> ys Prescott Fire Department published a request for proposal for a Type-I pumper fire <br /> engine. Our specifications addressed quality, delivery, size, maneuverability, service, <br /> warranty and cost. Of the five responses received, three met the proposal <br /> specifications. The most responsive proposal (submitted by Central States Apparatus <br /> "Rosenbauer") meets specifications, is approved by the central garage fleet manager <br /> and includes an electrical system upgrade valued at approximately $6,000.00. The <br /> electrical system upgrade provides a single connection port for our mechanics to <br /> diagnose and troubleshoot all system functions of the vehicle thus decreasing shop time <br /> significantly. "Rosenbauer" also provides six radios installed valued at approximately <br /> $8,000.00 where HME only provides the pre-wiring for those radios. <br /> Status <br /> Currently the fire department has no Type I pumper for use as a reserve or backfill <br /> engine due to the loss of our last reserve engine to excessive wear and tear. The <br /> engine this pumper replaces will go into reserve status. <br /> Financial <br /> This is a budgeted item funded through the vehicle replacement program for FY08 <br /> which was deferred for economic reasons. Note: Rosenbauer allows a $7,284.00 <br /> discount if the City of Prescott pays for the chassis at the time of delivery to their factory <br /> (FY09). The balance of the purchase will be paid in January 2010 after delivery (FY10). <br /> Tax Met Delivery <br /> Vendor I Amount Incl.
