The EMS department purchased a FEMA trailer to staff an ambulance crew in Marion, TX eleven years ago, and it has since out-lived its life span.  With the extension of the Guadalupe County agreement we need to purchase a new modular trailer.  The City completed a formal request for bids and the one response received was rejected as it was significantly higher than local market value.  EMS obtained three (3) quotes from local vendors and would like to award the purchase to Titan Factory Direct out of New Braunfels.  Similar in pricing, Titan was the only provider that agreed to remove the existing structure without additional fees. The total cost includes the 14 x 76 modular home, haul off of the existing structure, utility connections, base work and delivery setup of the new structure.  Associated costs will include new bed frames, desk, chairs, station alerting and other associated equipment needed to equip the station.         

To provide a new building for the EMS crews to continue to provide EMS services to the citizens of Guadalupe County.  

The existing structure is dilapidated and in need of replacement.  This new structure will provide the EMS crew with new quarters and will enhance the appearance of our presence in Guadalupe County.   

Staff recommends approval to allow the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Titan Factory Direct for the purchase of a new modular building.  

The total cost for the building is $88,000 and the purchase of associated equipment will not exceed $12,000.  This was an approved budget item for fiscal year 2022.  

Approval of Resolution 22-R-13 authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of one (1) Modular building and associated equipment.
