DISCUSSIQN:
This fire apparatus is being added to the City's fleet for assignment at the new Fire Station No. 41 located at
Highway 287 and Bonds Ranch Road. The Equipment Notes program was established to provide financing
for fire apparatus and other capital equipment purchases. Firefighters will use the apparatus to transport
personnel and equipment to fires, hazardous incidents and other emergency situations in Station No. 41's
district.
The Fire Department has reviewed the pricing and finds the cost to be competitive. State law, provides that
a local government purchasing an item under an interlacal cooperation contract satisfes any state law
requiring that the Inca! 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.
