ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to authorize the fire department to purchase a new custom utility pump skid assembly from FireSafety USA for a total cost of $12,550.
REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
The current pump assembly in the department’s Utility-12 truck is well past its typical lifespan. It has been used in three different trucks to help fight wildland fires and other smaller, non-structural fires. Every time it changed trucks, the assembly was altered slightly to fit the vehicle housing it. It has a gas motor that is not nearly as reliable as a new one, as well as other parts that show significant wear and tear.
The fire department originally planned to attempt repairing the old pump assembly, but utilizing several donations make it feasible to replace the entire assembly. The new custom system will be tailored to the current truck with the intended use in mind.
Requests for quotes were solicited from 3 vendors. The two lowest quotes were for the same amount, but staff is recommending purchasing the assembly from the Minnesota-based company, FireSafety USA. The fire department recently purchased the tower aerial truck from the same vendor as well as the new engine from that is currently in production.
If approved, the skid will be ordered with expected delivery in late summer 2021. It is possible that supply chain issues for parts specific to this system could delay the timeline, but by ordering now it ensures eligibility for the grant reimbursement policies. The existing pump assembly is planned to be sold at auction.
I. Budget Impact: The $12,550 purchase will be funded from fire department’s 2021 budget. This item is unbudgeted, but $9,762.57 of the total will be offset by donations as follows:
$1,000 – Josie Larson (accepted by Council 8/24/20) $2,000 – Monticello Lions (accepted by Council 4/12/21) $223.57 – Monticello Covenant Church (accepted by Council 4/12/21)
City Council Agenda: 04/26/2021
$5,000 – All Elements (not yet received) $1,539 – DNR Grant (not yet received)
II. Staff Impact: Minimal.
III. Comprehensive Plan Impact: N/A
STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION
City staff recommends authorizing the fire department to purchase a new custom utility pump skid assembly from FireSafety USA for a total cost of $12,550.
