The buildout for fire apparatus is 45–48 months, and <br />we could save significant dollars if an agreement is signed this year. This replacement is listed in the fleet <br />schedule and Capital Improvement Plan. Our discussions were to have this apparatus paid for with a bond <br />together with our previously purchased Aerial and the construction of a new Fire Station #1. <br /> <br />The department worked with MacQueen Equipment to create the specifications for the Pierce apparatus. We <br />have a long working relationship with MacQueen and Pierce. These agencies have always produced high <br />quality products with outstanding customer service. They are members of the Houston-Galveston Area <br />Council (HGAC), a cooperative that provides a guaranteed best price for cities to make purchases. We have <br />been a member of HGAC for several years and are provided the lowest cost possible. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The total purchase price is $1,225,000. Additional discounts can be achieved by prepayment of 100%. The <br />total discount would be $150,160. Otherwise, net sale price is due at the time the vehicle is released at the <br />manufacturing plant. The attached proposal and purchase agreement are valid through July 31, 2024. Pierce <br />will implement a 1.75% price increase on August 2, 2024. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />This purchase meets the city's mission of keeping the community safe. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1. 1051 Proposal Letter 06282024 <br />2. 1051 Purchase agreement 06282024 <br /> <br />Page 185 of 389
