DISCUSSION
On July 21 2009 (M&C P 11008) City Council authorized the purchase of four new Rosenbauer General
Safety pump apparatus from Emergency Vehicles of Texas for the Fire Department using aHouston-
Galveston Area Council Cooperative Contract for a total amount of $2 399 696 00 and adopted
Appropriation Ordinance No 18722-07 2009 and Resolution No 3767-07 2009 The appropriation
ordinance and reimbursement resolution requested in this action are needed to cover the change orders
on these four of the five units covered by this M&C
On September 8 2009 (M&C P 11027) City Council authorized the purchase of one new Rosenbauer
General Safety pump apparatus from Emergency Vehicles of Texas for the Fire Department using a
Houston-Galveston Area Council Cooperative Contract for a total amount of $599 924 00 and adopted
Appropriation Ordinance No 18807-09-2009 No appropriation ordinance or reimbursement resolution is
needed for the change order to the single apparatus purchase
These change orders are requested to add enhanced computer radio and Self-Contained Breathing

communications with command and other essential Fire Department personnel The equipment will be
compatible with the current equipment in use by the Fire Department.
Upgrading to the Bostrom Secureall SCBA locking systems in place of the original Ziamatic SCBA
securing systems is requested for the firefighters to have the ability to put on the SCBA gear quicker for a
faster emergency response where SCBA is required The newly designed Bostrom SCBA securing system
will hold and protect the SCBA better than the original Ziamatic strap system
The unit cost of these enhancements is $24 070 00 each The addition of this equipment to these five
units should not be delayed because it may delay placing the new apparatus into service and may
increase the cost if purchased and installed separately at a later date The updated radios, computers and
SCBA locking systems are essential components of the fire apparatus for improved communications and
response times There are no lower cost methods to accomplish the acquisitions of the additional and
updated equipment by the Fire Department.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated of the New Equipment Purchase Fund Expenditures incurred for the purchase of
fire apparatus will be reimbursed from the issuance of debt.
