RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Crockett-Carquinez Fire District Fire Chief, a purchase order with Rosenbauer America, LLC., in an amount not to exceed $987,500, for a Rosenbauer 75’ Fire Truck, for the period September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed order of one (1) Rosenbauer FX 75’ Mid-Mount Viper Fire Truck is valued at approximately $987,500 including sales tax and all associated charges. The purchase price for the fire apparatus will be financed under a municipal lease purchase program for ten years, or a combination of financing and cash payment. Delivery of vehicle will be 395 days after receipt of the order, so any financing arrangements made now may change significantly between now and actual financing date. The department may use capital funds to offset the cost of financing. If the interest rate at the time of financing is 4%, the annual payments on $987,500 will be approximately $117,067 per year, for a total cost of $1,170,670. Public Works Purchasing Division will arrange financing prior to the completion date. The annual payments are budgeted in the Fire District budget.
