    TO:
    Honorable Mayor and City Council members
     
    FROM:
    Nahid Razi, Purchasing Agent
     
    SUBJECT:
    Purchase of Fire Engine
     
    RECOMMENDATION:
    That the City Council adopts the next Resolution in order, and authorizes the Purchasing Agent,
    in accordance with Municipal Code 3.20.010(C)(5), to execute an agreement with Pierce
    Manufacturing, Inc. for the purchase of a Pierce Triple Combination Pumper in the amount of
    $758,566.37.
     
    BACKGROUND:
    On June 26, 2018, the City Council approved the vehicle replacement budget, which included
    the replacement of a 12-year old fire engine pumper. On December 11, 2018, the City Council
    authorized an increase to the budgeted fire engine due to an unforeseen price increase. Pierce
    Manufacturing, Inc. is the supplier of standardized fire engine equipment for Heartland Fire and
    Rescue fleet because the equipment has proven to be very reliable with minimal down time for
    repairs.
     
    The City of Los Angeles awarded RFQ No. 4828 – Fire Truck, Triple Combination Apparatus on
    June 1, 2016 to Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. Upon review of the City of Los Angeles’s bid for fire
    engines, it was determined that the equipment available under this contract will meet the needs
    of the City and is compatible with existing equipment.
     
    The City of Los Angeles bid allowed the successful bidder to permit other public agencies to
    "piggyback" onto its bid award. Piggybacking is a type of intergovernmental cooperative
    purchase in which an agency is extended the same pricing and terms of a competitively-bid 

    contract entered into by another agency. Municipal Code 3.20.010(C)(5) authorizes the city to

    acquire equipment in cooperation with another agency.

     

     

    FISCAL IMPACT:

    The fiscal impact of this purchase is $758,566.37. Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal

    Year 2018-19 Annual Budget Vehicle/Equipment Replacement (605000).

    Looks like station 6 now has 2 medics just like station 8 bringing the total amount of medics in El Cajon to 5 during the peak hours of the day. I'm curious to see if this is a permanent unit that will run during the peak hours like M440 or if this is just some sort of temporary unit. CSA69 is supposed to be bringing in a 5th medic too which would really bolster the transportation numbers for Santee, Lakeside and El Cajon as mutual aid from AMR has been running into the 3 jurisdictions quite a bit lately.
