RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to American LaFrance of Los Angeles, for the purchase
of a fire pumper in the amount of $356,807.66
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department has adopted a comprehensive and systematic
replacement program for Fire Department emergency response vehicles.
The program is designed to replace outdated equipment in accordance
with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1500. The
standard recommends a limit of 15 years to frontline service units,
wi th a reserve status of five years. The standards are part of the
requirements for maintaining a recognized Class 1 Fire Department. Due
to age, one 1981 pumper meets the schedule for replacement. The
delivery time with American LaFrance of Los Angeles is at a ten-month
period.
On February 2, 2004, the City Council awarded a contract to American
LaFrance of Los Angeles for the purchase of a fire pumper. American
LaFrance of Los Angeles has agreed to extend the same terms and
condi tions of the contract; however, the vendor has requested a 1.46
percent price increase for the 2006 American LaFrance custom fire
pumper due to steel price increases.
