RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Emergency Vehicle Group, Inc., an Anaheim dealer for
Crimson Fire, under the Cooperative Purchase Provision for the purchase of
two fire pumpers in the amount not to exceed $900,000.
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designed to replace outdated equipment in accordance with National Fire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 for frontline service units, with a reserve status of
five years. The standards are part of the requirements for maintaining a
recognized Class 1 Fire Department. Due to age, two 1988 pumper trucks
meet the schedule for replacement. The delivery time with Emergency
Vehicle Groups, Inc. is 11-months. Additionally, the Finance & Management
Services Agency's Fleet Division reviews the acquisition in accordance with
the City's Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Policy.
Currently, hybrid trucks are not manufactured in the fire pumper category.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase
against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid
process. A contract for a Crimson Fire pumper through a local dealer was
awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding and meets the City's
requirements and qualifies for a contract to Emergency Vehicle Group, Inc.
