In February 2004, the <br /> Foster City Fire Department solicited a proposal from the City of Redwood City to provide <br /> maintenance services on their fire trucks and support vehicles. Foster City has three (3) <br /> fire pumpers, two (2) ladder trucks and two (2) command vehicles which require periodic <br /> maintenance. Unlike Redwood City, Foster City does not have in-house certified fleet <br /> maintenance for fire apparatus, and they have been unable to find a reliable company who <br /> provides a high quality service for their equipment. <br /> � <br /> The City of Redwood City's Equipment Services Division of the Public Works Services <br /> Department has certified fire technicians who provide this type of service and the Foster <br /> Cit Fir h' <br /> y e C ief has solicited our support. A draft maintenance agreement has been re- <br /> viewed b the Foster Cit Fire Chief and i <br /> . <br /> Y y C ty Manager and they a ree with the terms and <br /> . . 9 <br /> conditions written into the agreement. <br /> Alternative <br /> The alternative of rejecting Foster Gity Fire DepartmenYs proposal would forFeit the <br /> opportunity of generating additional revenue and in turn lowering our internal costs of <br /> maintaining the City's fleet. Providing the maintenance service for Foster City Fire <br /> Department vehicles would not compromise the service level currently being provided to <br /> Redwood City's vehicles. <br /> Fiscal Impact <br /> The associated revenue for the maintenance and repair of Foster City's Fire Fleet will be <br /> approximately $20,000 annually, based on a$95.21 per hour labor rate. This revenue is <br /> used to completely offset the cost of providing services, and will back-fill so apacity that <br /> wiil be unused due to Redwood City fleet reductions related to pending dg r duction <br /> ^� / . , <br /> C� . <br /> La anvacz Peteringram E er <br /> �... <br /> Public Works Superintendent Public Works Se ices Director City Manager <br /> Attachment: Agreement <br />
