RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract with Golden State Fire Apparatus for the sale of one (1) Type 1 Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Pumper Engine in an amount not to exceed $730,000 for emergency response.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Contra Costa County Fire Protection District General Operating Fund Balance: The proposed purchase of one Type I Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Pumper Engine is $730,000 includes all sales tax and associated charges. There is no financing involved in this purchase.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) maintains a fleet of both front line and reserve fire apparatus. As new engines are added to the fleet, older engines are moved to reserve status and eventually declared surplus as they reach end of life. The District has a replacement schedule in place and has multiple apparatus on order. Since the pandemic, apparatus acquisition has become challenging. The supply chain issues and labor shortages have caused manufacturers to experience significant delays in delivery times, and in some cases, several months beyond the original scheduled delivery.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In recent months several new station openings have been announced, some related to Measure X, and others have been planned. These station openings have put additional pressure on the front line apparatus needs in addition to scheduled replacements. This, coupled with delays, have caused District staff to identify and secure a stock apparatus that can be delivered immediately. The acquisition of this stock apparatus will allow the district to put new apparatus in service without the 18 month manufacturing process, reducing pressure on the fleet. The vehicle purchased through this action is complete and can be delivered upon payment and will see front line service this summer.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, The District would not be able to acquire this apparatus.
