Fire <br />Department Staff has contacted the manufacture in preparation for the replacement of the <br />apparatus. Considering the delivery time to be 6 to 8 months, staff recommends that the <br />apparatus be ordered now for expected delivery in February to March 2009. The fire truck has <br />already been bid to the Buy Board in Austin Texas, a government purchasing coop. Pricing has <br />gone up 3.5% since the staff obtained the bid price and has reason to believe the price will <br />increase an additional 3% to 5% at the end of the summer. The Buy Board assesses a $1,500.00 <br />fee for purchase of the apparatus which is included in the price. We will also include a 1 % <br />contingency in the amount of $3328.26 to cover any incidental costs we may incur on final <br />eqUIppmg. <br /> <br />Resource funding is based on the amount from 51-10 of $288,602.00 plus the overage amount of <br />51-01 in the amount of$63,133.00 for a total of$351,735. <br /> <br />Considering the 6-8 month delivery and upcoming price increase, Fire Department Staff and <br />Public Works are in agreement that we should proceed with this purchase. <br /> <br /> <br />~!rf ~tJ <br /> <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br />Date <br /> <br />D <br />
