Title
Consideration of and action on authorizing the purchase of one (1) 2020 Frazer remount ambulance via the HGAC Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Body
Summary:
The 2019-20 adopted budget of the Deer Park Fire Prevention, Control, and Emergency Medical Services District (FCPEMSD) includes funding for the purchase of one ambulance remount (refurbishment of the existing “box” and mounting on a new chassis).
The ambulance being remounted is a 2012 Frazer ambulance with over 100,000 on the current chassis. The unit continues to pose maintenance issues. Due to the excessive maintenance costs, it is prudent to replace the chassis.
Quote (attached) for $154,115 for the refurbishing/remounting will utilize the HGAC Cooperative Purchasing Program and includes a $6,000.00 credit for trade-in of the existing chassis.
This quote is within the budgeted funds for this project (FCPEMSD Budget).
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Budgeted funds are available within the FCPEMSD.
