| | | | | | | | Agenda Title:
20-083 - 1R. An ordinance authorizing the purchase of a 2020 Spartan Custom 4-Door Aluminum Squad (Pumper) Fire Truck from Precision Industries Inc. for $550,783.00 and making the necessary appropriations. |
| | | | | | | | Recommendations:
City staff recommends approval to execute a purchase order. |
| | | | | | | | Executive Summary:
Approval to purchase a 2020 Spartan Fire Apparatus Pumper Fire Truck. Replacement of the apparatus is due to age and cost of current maintenance and repair issues. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
The Fire Department is requesting to replace one pumper, currently a 2010 Toyne, due to age, high miles, and repair costs. The replacement of fire apparatus and vehicles is determined by age of the vehicle, current mileage, lifetime maintenance costs, out-of-service time, availability/cost of repair parts, and the allocation of funds in the annual budget. Specifically, the replacement of pumpers is projected to be every 10-years and/or 75,000 miles. With this pumper having exceeded the mileage limit (currently over 100k) and/or with the existing maintenance issues it is necessary to recommend that it be removed from front-line service and be reassigned to the reserve fleet. It is pertinent that the department not only maintain reserve apparatus for use while preforming maintenance on other front-line apparatus, but also for emergencies situations in which additional apparatus might be needed in the city. Estimated time for completion of the replacement fire apparatus is twelve months.
The City has received a quote from Precision Industries as priced off of the Houston-Galveston Area Cooperative Contract for $553,783.00.
Per section 8.06.004, Paragraph 4 of the City Code states competitive bidding is not required when purchases are made through a cooperative contract established by a government purchasing entity or cooperative. The cooperative bids used will have been established pursuant to RSMo. 70.220 or generally accepted governmental purchasing practices through the competitive bidding process.
The purchase price of $553,783.00 is requested to come through an appropriation from funds in the Unassigned Fund Balance of the Fire Public Safety Sales Tax towards the purchase price for the new apparatus.
