Title
A Resolution Approving the Purchase of one Custom Pumper for the Foley Fire Department
Summary
From: J. Darby, Fire Chief
I am requesting that the Council approve the purchase of a custom fire pumper as shown in the current Fire Advalorem Fund budget for $485,000 with a transfer of $120,000 from the General Fund. This item was bid on November 7, 2018 with one bidder responding for a bid of $501,994 (apparatus), $15,481.28 (loose equipment), Total Bid Amount $517,475.28. They also bid a 100% Prepayment Discount of $10,620. With NAFECO being the only bidder, I was able to negotiate with them for a lower price. The negotiated price with prepayment discount is $484,999.27. The apparatus will not be delivered until next budget year, so the loose equipment bid of $15,481.28 can be budgeted and paid in FY20. This new pumper will replace our 1999 KME custom pumper, and I am proposing that the old pumper be offered for sale to a regional volunteer fire department. The funds from the sale of the 1999 pumper will be receipted in the General Fund to offset the transfer.
