DISCUSSION
On April 20 2004 (M&C P 9946) the City Council authorized the purchase of three pumper engine
apparatus from Emergency Vehicles of Texas at the original cost of $1 311 692.01 With the addition of
compressed air foam systems to the apparatus, the total purchase will be $1 431 692.01
Funds totaling $1 000 000 were included in Proposition Four of the approved 2004 Capital Improvemnt
Program (CIP) for the purchase of compressed afire foam systems for Fire apparatus. However it was
subsequently determined more advantageous to fund the compressed air foam systems via the Equipment
Notes program, thereby freeing up those funds in the 2004 CIP to address other Fire-related infrastructure
needs.
M/WBE A waiver of the goal for MNVBE 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 Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the attached appropriations ordinance funds will be
available in the current capital budget, as appropriated of the New Equipment Purchase Fund
