RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the purchasing agent, on behalf of the Fire Chief, to amend a purchase order with HME Incorporated to increase the amount from $690,000 to $694,000 for the purchase of two Type III wildland firefighting engines.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Increased cost of approximately $4,000. 100% Pittsburg Special Fund (203800).

BACKGROUND:

On March 13, 2018, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Board of Directors approved the purchase of two wildland engines in an amount not to exceed $690,000. Purchase Order 11557 was issued April 4, 2018. During construction of the engines, the District needed to change the specifications to add flood lights to the apparatus. The change resulted in an increased total cost of $693,782.26. The Purchase Order will need to be amended to reflect the price increase.
