RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a change order amendment with Golden State Fire Apparatus, Inc., to increase the payment amount by $14,805 to a new payment total of $373,355, for the manufacture and purchase of a Type I tactical water tender for fire suppression.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Increased cost of $14,805. This agenda includes a revenue and appropriation adjustment for use of fund balance.

The purchase of this vehicle is partially funded by FEMA's 2017 Assistance to Firefighters Grant program. The Federal share is $318,341 and the District will contribute $55,014.

BACKGROUND:

On November 13, 2018, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Board of Directors approved the purchase of a Type I water tender in an amount not to exceed $365,000. The purchase price at that time was $358,550, and an additional $6,450 was included in the purchasing authority to allow for potential change orders. During construction of the water tender, the District needed to change the specifications of the vehicle. The changes included adjusting water ports on the front and rear bumpers, adding a metal cover to protect the fuel cap, reinforcing the top of the vehicle to hold hose, and adding a handle to the ladder to the hose bed. The changes resulted in an increased cost of $14,805.
