r <br />OFFICE OF 'THE FIRE ~F • <br />CITY OF LA PORTS <br />INTI-'R-OFFICE MF~%~RANDUM <br />T0: Jack Owen, City Manager DATE: 4-7-82 <br />FROM: J.L. Sease, Fire Chief <br />SUB.TECT: 1500 GPM Pumper purchase <br />In April 1980 the City Council awarded a bid to the Seagraves Company <br />fora 1500 GPM pumper. In July of 1981 the City Council rewarded the <br />bid to Fire Fox Corporation because Seagraves Company could not <br />deliver under the contract. <br />Fire Fox Corporation has passed its contracted delivery time and is <br />having financial problems. It is evident they will not be able to <br />deliver anytime soon or possibly at all. <br />I recommend that we ask the City Council to cancel our contract with <br />Fire Fox Corporation and award the contract to American La France <br />• Corporation for the sum of $126,900.00. This is $11,159.00 over Fire <br />Fox's price and will require a budget appropriation by Council. <br />American La France Corporation can deliver the truck in 3 to 6 weeks. <br />• <br />
