River <br /> <br />Item ~ 4.1. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br />Bruce A. West, Fire Chief~~/~//'~----~~ <br />June 4, 2001 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Fire Department Pumper Purchase <br /> <br />On behalf of the Elk River Fire Department I would like to thank our truck committee for its <br />dedication and perseverance with this new pumper purchase project. I would like to present <br />to you the findings and conclusions in reference to the new fire department pumper as <br />proposed by the fire department truck committee. The truck committee members are Rick <br />Morrell, Phil Collins, Terry Elliott, Cliff Anderson, Rob Dreissig, Cory Altman and Mike <br />Trunnell. On May 21, 2001 at 2:00 p.m. at Elk River City Hall two bids were received and <br />opened and the results were as follows: <br /> <br />Pierce Manufacturing: $249,975.00 <br />Luverne Fire Apparatus: $251,037.00 <br /> <br />The fire department truck committee has reviewed the two bids received to ensure adherence <br />to the published truck specifications. The truck committee compared the bid proposals <br />versus the published specifications page by page for any irregularities. After completion of the <br />bid review process, the fire department truck committee voted unanimously to recommend <br />acceptance of the Pierce Manufacturing proposal. <br /> <br />The City of Elk River advertised for bids for the pumper fire apparatus for 30 days and bid <br />specifications were requested by four truck manufacturers of which include Luverne Fire <br />Apparatus, Tom Conway Fire Apparatus, General Safety Corporation and Pierce <br />Manufacturing. The truck committee's recommendation is based upon many hours of <br />analysis and comparison of specifications of the products proposed. Both bid proposals meet <br />all federal safety standards, NFPA requirements, noise level requirements and standards <br />mandated by OSHA. <br /> <br />The Elk River Fire Department Truck Committee has successfully completed a d/fficult <br />project with the many meetings, preparation of bid specifications, review of pumper frre <br />apparatus proposals and finally recommendation for the purchase of a new fire department <br /> <br /> <br />
