Title

Consider authorizing the purchase of Hurst rescue tool/equipment for the Joint Fire Training Facility from sole source provider, Municipal Emergency Services, in an amount not to exceed $100,000, as budgeted, and authorizing the City Manager to sign any necessary documents.

 

Summary

 

The requested purchase is to replace the current cache of tools on our apparatus and implement new electric technology for a dual purpose of emergency response and training. Significant engineering and design improvements have occurred in the 17 years since our previous purchase. With the increase in motor vehicle accidents and industrial infrastructure, the need to quickly deploy technical rescue resources is critical to performance during emergency situations. 

 

Fiscal Impact:

The funds have been designated in General Fund - Fund Balance for this project.

 

Staff Recommendation:

The Fire Department recommends approval.
