The <br /> truck is built by Pierce Manufacturing in Appleton WI. Pierce has a positive history with the City of Elk <br /> River with respect to price,performance,reliability, and customer service. The Fire Department has <br /> designed the new truck based off of the existing design/functionality of Engine 2 which will standardize <br /> front-line engine deployment from both fire stations. <br /> The existing Engine 1 will be auctioned and sold. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The Equipment Replacement Fund budgeted approximately$585,000. The slight cost increase is <br /> attributed to items added to bring the engine into the same design/functionality as Engine 2. The <br /> contract price for the Fire Department's replacement Tahoe (item 4.13) came in less than what was <br /> originally estimated. <br /> The purchase is being made through the Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract, a <br /> purchasing consortium approved in Minnesota. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Purchase Agreement <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community 2a itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
