Type Action Item
Originally due to be replaced in 2020, Squad 544 is a 1990 International with
approximately 15,000 miles. Squad 544 is a unique "beverage type" truck that
houses special rescue equipment, including high angle, confined space, structural
or trench collapse, and hazardous materials response equipment. Squad 544 is
also first -due on all structure fires to refill SCBA bottles and assist with firefighter
decontamination efforts with its breathing air cascade system. Squad 544 no
longer has sufficient space or the proper layout to carry what is necessary with the
amount and type of hazardous material and technical rescue equipment increasing
over the years. The current Squad has a maximum passenger capacity of two, the
driver and one passenger.
The initial budgeted amount of $350,000 and unusually long lead-times posed a
challenge when looking at new vehicles. A new heavy rescue squad would cost
over of $600,0000. With the help of the Apparatus Committee and Hazardous
Materials Team leader, the Department explored the option of purchasing a used
fire apparatus that would fit our immediate and future needs. It was not long
before this group found a 2003 Pierce Saber Heavy Rescue truck for sale by the
Washington Township Avon Fire Department in Indiana. The Village sent a
contingency of representatives, including Public Works Mechanic/EVT Mario
1
Garcia, down to carefully inspect the vehicle and all reports indicate the vehicle is
in excellent condition and would suit our functional needs. The vehicle has
approximately 41,000 miles and includes a Winco 10kW PTO Diesel Generator, a
roof -mounted, telescoping Will -Burt light tower, vehicle -mounted scene lighting, a
Class III rear receiver hitch, with winch ready attachments points on front and
both sides of vehicle, 2 electrical corded reels and 2 air hose reels. Some of the
capabilities immediately identified are:
• Provides a more capable/reliable response for hazardous materials incidents
including a command center
• Increased passenger capacity for response personnel. This is the Paid -on Call
group's primary response vehicle
• Increased storage space to house MABAS Division 1 Hazardous Materials
F_'
• Increased storage space and capability to store spare SCBA bottles
eliminating the need for a cascade system
• Increased scene lighting, portable power, and addition of command/rehab
center for response to Code 4's and post -fire investigation efforts
• Provide a secondary climate -controlled Command area for large-scale events
• Capable of being utilized as a blocking vehicle for highway/high-traffic
emergency response
• Capable of vehicle recovery during severe weather/flooding
• Capable to respond as frontline vehicle during extreme cold conditions
minimizing cold weather exposure to apparatus with water pumps
Again, the original budget in the replacement schedule is $350,000.00. Asking
price for this vehicle was $90,000.00, which staff negotiated to a final purchase
price of $85,000.00. Staff anticipates approximately $15,000.00 in additional
costs to upgrade emergency lighting to LED, outfit compartments, and MPFD
graphics. In its current role, staff is confident the department will be able to get
10-15 years of service out of this vehicle.
The replaced squad will be sold through the GovDeals.com Internet auction.
Alternatives
1. Accept purchase price of $85,000 for used 2003 Pierce Saber Heavy Rescue

2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
