Dickinson, Fire Chief <br />Reviewed by <br />Aerial Apparatus <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Action Requested <br />Approve, by motion, the purchase of the Pierce aerial apparatus for the fire department. <br />Background/Discussion <br />At the 2023 Budget Work Session, the Fire Department presented the need to purchase a replacement aerial <br />apparatus as the current one is no longer compliant with NFPA recommendations. <br />The Council directed staff to proceed with a specification and purchase agreement. The department worked with <br />MacQueen Emergency to create the specification for the Pierce apparatus. We have a long working relationship <br />with both MacQueen and Pierce. These agencies have always produced the highest quality products with <br />outstanding customer service. They are members of the Huston -Galveston Area Council (HGAC), a cooperative <br />that provides a guaranteed best price for cities to make purchases of which we are a member. <br />Financial Impact <br />The total purchase price of the aerial device is $1,973,100.00. There are proposed additional discounts that can be <br />achieved by prepayment of either 100% or 50%. The total discounts would be $96,727.00 or $48,364.00 <br />respectively. The prices are valid until 10/31/22 at which point Pierce will have a 6.5% increase to the cost and the <br />total purchase price after that date will be $2,101,352.00. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />This purchase meets the city's mission of keeping the community safe. <br />Attachments <br />■ Purchase agreement <br />■ Proposal letter <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires pi ospei l_ y. <br />M <br />TUREJ <br />Updated.• August 2020 <br />
