Consider approval to purchase a Pierce Manufacturing 1,500 GPM Type 1 fire engine/pumper through Siddons-Martin Emergency Group (Regional Pierce Vendor). BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: This request is for an additional fire apparatus utilizing a national cooperative purchasing contract HGAC FS12-23 (FIRE).

Pricing for the apparatus came in at $1,368,516.00, the city received a discount of $174,607.62 for the upfront pre-payment for this apparatus.

It was determined that it would be more feasible, safer, and less costly a storm drain vault was reconfigured to allow the gas line to be installed above the storm drain.
