Information:
Background:
The Fire Department was scheduled to replace our 2002 Squad/Pumper (Engine 13
- Vehicle 516) in 2016. This apparatus has 88,000 miles and over 10,000 hours
logged. Its current condition and recent maintenance records indicate replacement is
warranted.
Engine 13 has been evaluated utilizing our detailed comprehensive replacement
policy. This policy uses a point-based criterion, which rates vehicles on four (4)
major factors: Age, mileage, repair & maintenance cost, and condition of the
body/mechanical components. A point total equaling or exceeding eleven (11) out of
sixteen (16) indicates that the vehicle should be recommended for replacement.
Engine 13 scored fourteen (14) points indicating a high rating and should be
replaced. The vehicle condition evaluation forms and summary reports for each
vehicle have been attached as Attachment A. Additionally, the life cycle cost
analysis provided in Attachment B breaks out the total ownership cost for the
vehicle.
Engine 13 is a fire suppression vehicle and the Fire Department's special rescue
response apparatus. Engine 13 has a full complement of firefighting equipment,
advanced life support medical equipment, and our heavy rescue extrication
equipment. Engine 13 is designated as a multipurpose emergency response unit;
therefore Engine 13 has been frontline for its entire lifespan. Our current vehicle
replacement plan for fire engines is for the vehicle to remain in service for 15 years;
ten as frontline and five in reserve status. However, Engine 13 as a
squad/pumper remains in frontline service for all 15 years.

Engine 13 has met its useful life expectancy and extending its use as a frontline
apparatus will result in increasingly higher maintenance costs. While designing
Engine 13's replacement, the apparatus committee was tasked with designing a dual
purpose apparatus. In addition to a traditional pumper, Engine 13 is also considered
our heavy rescue squad and is first due on any vehicle accident or emergency call
with entrapment. This requires an array of special rescue equipment that includes
everything from hydraulic and pneumatic tools to cribbing and lighting. The engine is
being designed with an eye on future demands on fire suppression and emergency
management and response.
General Bid Information:
The proposed Squad/Pumper would be purchased from Pierce Manufacturing
through Global Emergency Products. Our last four fire apparatus purchases (three
pumpers as well as our current tower ladder truck) have been from Pierce
Manufacturing. We consider Pierce vehicles and service to be unmatched. A
photograph of the proposed replacement Fire Engine is enclosed as Attachment C.
As members of the Houston-Galveston Area Council Cooperative Purchasing
Program, we are assured of competitive pricing through volume purchasing and
discounts. HGAC pricing has been awarded through a public competitive process
and has been utilized by at least seven of our surrounding communities for recent
fire apparatus purchases.
Alternatives:
1. Accept Global Emergency Products bid results through the Houston Galveston
Area Council for a Pierce Squad/Pumper (Engine).
2. Discretion of the Village Board.
Budget Impact:
The proposed award will require the expenditure of $647,013.00 from the Vehicle
Replacement Fund. $600,000 is budgeted in the Vehicle Replacement Fund for
vehicle 516. Additional funds will come from the resale of 516 which has an
estimated value between $25,000 to $50,000.
Staff is forecasting an increase to the Vehicle Replacement Fund of $4,000 per
year for the life of the engine.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends acceptance of the Global Emergency Products bid through
the Houston Galveston Area Council for an amount not to exceed $647,013.00.
