RATIFY ISSUANCE OF EMERGENCY PURCHASE ORDER#212008 FOR REPAIRS
TO FIRE APPARATUS.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council ratify authorization by City Manager for emergency repairs of
Fire Apparatus#443-T,replacementof swivel,control functions, pump repairs, and
minor body work, with American LaFrance, Ontario, CA for an amount of
$33,867.26.
BACKGROUND:
Unit 443-T was placed in service November 27, 1990. The apparatus is unique in
its function as a combination pumper/ladder. As the unit has aged, control failures
were individually repaired by city staff. Deterioration of the swivel mechanism has
reached a condition that cannot be repaired other than by replacement. Earlier
this year, the unit received an engine overhaul that combined with this repair will
ensure many years of reliable service at a much lesser cost than total unit
replacement. The needed repairs require special tools and equipment not
available through our fleet operations division. American LaFrance is the
manufacturer of the replacement swivel.
Funds are available for this repair in account#510-5470-43130, Outside Repairs.
Unless there are savings in other operational accounts, the cost of this repair will
have to be transferred from Specialized Equipment which may lead to deferment
of planned purchase of other equipment.
