information Manufacturer's Statement of Origin and original sales invoices will accompany the apparatus
upon delivery to the Fire Vehicle Services Center 2920 West Bolt Street.
PRICE ANALYSIS The price offered by the recommended vendor is six percent higher than the price in
2009 because of higher priced materials parts components labor and the Environmental Protection
Agency's National Clean Diesel Campaign Clean Diesel Initiative (CDI), for diesel engines using ultra low
sulfur diesel fuel The CDI was mandated for all diesel powered vehicles in the United States to be
manufactured 90 percent cleaner than current models when designing and building the engines The new
technologies developed to meet the new EPA CDI by the engine manufacturers has caused a significant
increase in the cost of diesel engines Overall prices are considered to be fair and reasonable
State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a cooperative purchasing agreement
satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item

HGAC contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local
government entities across the State of Texas
An inter-fund loan from the General Fund to the New Equipment Purchase Fund will be used as interim
financing to purchase the fire apparatus The loan will be repaid to the General Fund from debt proceeds
issued in the fall of 2010
U S Treasury regulations and guidelines require that a governmental entity declare its intent to use debt
financing in order to subsequently reimburse itself from the proceeds of that borrowing In accordance
with this requirement, the City must adopt a resolution declaring its intent to reimburse itself from the
proceeds of the issuance of debt for the fire apparatus expenditures incurred prior to the financing
On June 15 2010 the City Council approved M&C G-16959 stating the City's intent to reimburse itself for
fire apparatus expenditures from the sale of bonds in accordance with Internal Revenue Service
requirements for the issuance of debt.
M/WBE A waiver of the goal for M/WBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing
Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods is from sources where
subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation
and adoption of the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current
capital budget, as appropriated of the New Equipment Purchases Fund Expenditures incurred for the
purchase of fire apparatus will be reimbursed from the issuance of debt.
