Summary
All manufacturers were given the same
search and evaluation criteria.
1.All of these apparatus meet the needs of
the city of Hapeville.
2.All of these apparatus are close in price as
well as financing terms.
3.The Sutphen truck is available immediately.
It is 4,000 above yearly budget but has
proven history of longevity.
Summary Continued
4.Pierce is the most expensive of this research
and is approximately one year from delivery.
5.E-One is the least expensive. We have laid
hands on the very truck we would purchase
as it is a demo. E-One is within our budget
and meets all of our needs.
6.Ferrara is the next least. Ferrara truck will not
be available till July and may be slightly above
proposed budget.
Recommendation
After careful research, it is the recommendation of myself, the Fire
Chief and City Manager for the Hapeville City Council to vote in
favor of the purchase of a new 95’ E-ONE Aerial Apparatus.
This apparatus meets all of the search criteria formed by myself
and the Fire Chief and comes in $1,805.23 under annual proposed
budget.
There are miscellaneous items that will need to be purchased such
as transfer of radio communication equipment, assorted hand tools
with associated brackets. These items will be purchased through
current Fire Department budget and will not be included in the
finance cost.
Recommendation Continued
As part of the 2016 Hazard Mitigation Plan, we have
created a critical “Needs Assessment” to bolster the
response capabilities of the Fire Department and to
reduce liability to the City. These “Needs” are essential
items needed to protect the citizens of Hapeville in the
time of an emergency be it from a natural, man-made, or
technological disaster.
Examples of these items are portable light towers, rescue
cribbing, HAZMAT decon systems, portable fans/
heaters and other items that would sustain our
community for 72-96 hrs.
Recommendation Cont...3
We recommend selling the 1986 Sutphen Ladder and the
1995 International truck to the highest bidder. We then
utilize that money and retrofit the Black Ford F-150 Pick
up with a roll out bed, camper shell, trailer hitch, and
more emergency lighting. We will also purchase a 16’ BIG
TEX enclosed trailer to house HAZMAT equipment and
other disaster response items. We can then use this truck
as an Incident Command Vehicle and as the tow vehicle
for the trailer should we need to respond to an incident. It
will be a functional Incident Command Vehicle for Fire
Department shift supervisors.
Next Steps?
Council should waive formal sealed bidding requirements per
City Code 17-3-24
A budget amendment should be prepared and adopted to move
the special tax district money to a line item to pay yearly
payment for the purchased Aerial Apparatus.
Delivery date has to be arranged and contracts be awarded and
signed. Recommend Council Action at 03-15-16 meeting.
Ladder 1 and Rope 1 have to be made ready for sale and
disposed of per the previous recommendations.
Looking Ahead
Engine 2 is a 1997 Ferrara Pumper. It is 9 years past the federal
recommendations by NFPA 1901. Engine 2 is a front line vehicle and is
escalating in maintenance cost.
Looking Ahead
Engine 3 is a 1991 E-ONE rear engine pumper. It is 15 years past the federal
recommendations by NFPA 1901. Engine 3 is a reserve apparatus utilized during
maintenance or out of service front line apparatus.
