RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District, or designee, to execute a purchase order with HME Inc. in an amount not to exceed $340,000 for the purchase of a new fire engine as a replacement to the current unit first deployed in 1983.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$340,000, 100% Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District property tax revenue.

BACKGROUND:

The Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District is in need of a fire engine to replace existing apparatus first deployed in 1983 (33 years ago). In recent years, that engine has become too costly to maintain and is unreliable. Maintenance to the engine has become increasingly difficult due to the obsolescence of parts. The District has researched options and identified that the HME Ahrens-Fox Model 34e Type III fire engine is the most appropriate apparatus to acquire as a replacement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will continue to make use of the current engine, which has consistent mechanical difficulties and has been averaging close to $10,000 annually in maintenance costs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
