SUBJECT SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF ONE USED ARSON AND BOMB RESPONSE TRUCK
FROM SVI TRUCKS FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
Authorize the sole source purchase of one used arson and bomb response truck from SVI Trucks
for the Fire Department at a cost not to exceed $149 949 with payment due within 30 days of the
date of the invoice with freight included in the unit price and
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
New Equipment Purchases Fund by $149 949 to be obtained through the City's Equipment Note
program approved on February 9 1999 (M&C G-12462, Ordinance No 13701)
DISCUSSION
The arson and bomb response truck is a replacement for the City's uneconomically repairable unit No
185-0068 This vehicle will be used for transporting personnel and equipment to emergency situations
requiring evidence collection from suspicious fires and will also be used when responding to threats of
explosive devices This vehicle has been approved for replacement as part of the Fire Department's
FY2002 2003 Apparatus Replacement Plan
The truck is a demonstration vehicle with 4 400 miles and is available for immediate delivery The Fire
Department has reviewed the pricing and condition of the vehicle and finds both to be acceptable
Purchasing this equipment at $149 949 compared to the cost of new equipment at an estimated
$170 000 allows the City a cost avoidance of approximately $20 000
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
