<br />6.18 <br />Page 1 <br /> <br /> <br />June 5, 2006 <br /> <br />Subject <br />Purchase of one Seagrave Marauder II Fire Pumper <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />By Motion, approve the purchase of one Seagrave Marauder II Fire Pumper in the <br />amount of $439,501.50, from Seagrave Fire Apparatus, LLC of Clintonville, WI, under <br />the cooperative purchase provision of the City of Mount Joy, PA Fire Department's Sale <br />Order #78C43. <br /> <br />Background <br />The Fire Department currently has a 1988 Pierce Fire Pumper which has exceeded its <br />useful life. and is scheduled for replacement. Staff from Equipment Services, along with <br />the Fire Department's Apparatus Committee, have been working with multiple <br />apparatus manufacturers on vehicle specifications and optional equipment which meets <br />Redwood City's fire pumper truck standard. Seagrave Apparatus was the lowest <br />responsible bidder for the Mount Joy Fire Department's bid in which the City of Long <br />Beach. City of Ventura and Culver City each purchased one. <br /> <br />Cooperative purchasing provisions make it possible for cities to realize significant <br />savings from larger volume purchases. The base unit price per the Mount Joy Fire <br />Department specification is $419,464. With the addition of optional equipment, the total <br />price for Redwood City's unit will be $439,501.50. <br /> <br />Redwood City has used Seagrave's services in the past and currently has a 1 aD-foot <br />Seagrave Aerial truck in its fire fleet. We have found Seagrave to be a reputable dealer <br />that has over 500 fire trucks in the State of California. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />If approved, delivery of this fire pumper will be within the next 10 to 12 months. The <br />alternative of going out to bid would probably not result in any cost savings, since the <br />bid was a recent competitive bid process in which Seagrave was the lowest responsible <br />bidder. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funds for the purchase of this replacement fire engine were approved by the City <br />Council in the Fiscal Year 2005/2006 EqUi,pment 'Replacement FUn~~¡..u,d~~t;;in..,. t e <br />amount of $440,000.
