ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the purchase of a new Engine Pumper Fire Truck. (Angel Ramirez, Fire Chief)
SUMMARY:
Investing in a new fire truck is crucial for ensuring public safety and effective emergency response. As communities evolve, so do the challenges faced by fire departments. A modern fire truck comes equipped with advanced technology, improved water and foam delivery systems, and enhanced safety features. Upgrading to a new fire truck allows quicker response time, increased firefighting capacity, and better adaptability to diverse emergency scenarios.
Ultimately, purchasing a new fire truck is an investment in the community's well-being, providing firefighters with the tools they need to save lives and protect property.
The biggest reason we want to purchase the truck now is the wait times from order to delivery. As we stand right now, we are looking at 40-48 months until we have this truck delivered. Pierce is offering us to pay in increments each budget year until the truck is delivered.
,
The San Luis Fire Department wants to utilize the purchasing powers available through the HGACBUY Contract FS12-19 under the authority of the City of San Luis, Arizona, Procurement Code Chapter 3.05, Section §3.05.090, Cooperative Purchasing, and is seeking council approval.
