ACTION REQUEST
Authorize the purchase of One (1) Type I Medic Unit through the H.G.A.C. Buy Program from Frazer/Sterling McCall in the amount of $232,122.00 to replace a 1993 International/E-One EMS transport capable Rescue Unit.
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
This request is for the replacement of an EMS transport capable, 1993 International/E-One Rescue unit that will be 30 years old at the time of replacement with a new medic unit.
We have discontinued the previous purchasing model of transport capable, rescue units in favor of medic units that better meet the needs of our service delivery and are less costly to purchase and maintain. For example, to replace Rescue 11 with another rescue unit the projected cost would likely exceed $600K. However, with EMS as >75% of our service delivery the need to maintain an adequate fleet of medic units is extremely important to our EMS program success.
This proposed apparatus is being purchased through the H.G.A.C. Buy Program. All contracts available to members of H.G.A.C. Buy Program have been awarded by virtue of a public competitive procurement process compliant with state statutes.
Funds are available and approved in the FY 22/23 Annual Budget for this purchase.

RECOMMENDATION
A quote was obtained on the suspension system repairs alone that exceed $25K. The unit would require additional expense to correct and repair all deficiencies. Rescue 11 is 30 years old and replacement at this time is recommended in favor of repairs.
