Audio Only Resolution 2010-247 approving the acquisition of Union City’s 2007 Pierce manufactured, 100 foot aerial tiller and body (Vince Webster, 436-7222).
Funding Source: The entire cost of this fully equipped vehicle, and the full inventory, is $655,000. A comparable vehicle, fully equipped, in today’s market would cost approximately $1,200,000. The City will save approximately $545,000 by purchasing this 2007 aerial ladder vehicle now instead of purchasing a new unit in 2 to 3 years as outlined in the Fire Department Strategic Plan. The bid price was determined upon consultation with experts in the field and an on-site review by the Department’s Apparatus Committee.
The current aerial truck was purchase in 1988 using one-time, non-General Fund funding. Due to the funding source, the aerial truck was never placed into the Department’s Vehicle Replacement Fund, so no replacement funds are set aside. The funds for the purchase of this vehicle will be borrowed from the Public Works and Police Department’s Vehicle Replacement Funds. The payback has been structured to not impact any scheduled purchases by Police or Public Works. Further, a replacement account will be established for this tiller truck to replace it at the end of its useful life.
Acquiring this vehicle at a substantial reduction over a new vehicle allows an internal financing structure that will not impact scheduled vehicle replacement. This could not be accomplished by acquiring a new vehicle. - Item 14
