EOty1� ,.,�� Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and Council 4.3 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent Aril 1, 2019 Aaron Surratt,Deputy Fire Chief Item Description Reviewed by Purchase Replacement Water Tender Mark Dickinson, Fire Chief Reviewed by Cal Portner City Administrator Action Requested Approve,by motion, to purchase a replacement 3,000 gallon water tender from the Midwest Fire Company located in Luverne,MN for a price of$287,007. This is made possible through the Houston- Galveston Area Council Cooperative (HGAC). Background/Discussion Tender 1 is the fire department's main tender carrying 3,000 gallons of water for areas without a water supply. The current Tender 1 is over 40 years old and has been put on 2-20 year old chassis which has been approved for replacement in the 2019 Fleet Budget. Request for purchase were solicited to the following: Heiman Fire, Custom Fire,Maqueen Equipment Group, and Midwest Fire. Heiman, Custom, and Maqueen chose not to submit any quotes due to not being able to compete with Midwest Fire. Midwest Fire is the only company that uses PolyBilt products, which provides a tank and body lifetime warranty. Financial Impact The Fleet Replacement Fund currently has $285,000 budgeted for this purchase in 2019,which was based on 2018 pricing. Numerous attempts were made to bring costs down without success as the truck is bare minimum needs of the department. However, the quote by Midwest Fire is 2019 pricing for a 2020 product and the difference is anticipated to be made up of proceeds from the sale of the 1999 Tender. Cost breakdown: ■ International Truck Chassis - $91,850 ■ Midwest Build - $195,157 Attachments ■ Midwest Quote for Tender 1 ■ HGAC Contract for Signature The Elk River Vision A PehoMing community Pitb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and POWERED By community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAMIRE1
