Title
Action on Resolution 20-009, a Resolution to approve the purchase of a 2020 Fire Engine from Toyne, Inc., Breda, IA / Allegiant Emergency Services, Sioux Falls, SD, through Sourcewell Contract #022818-TOY.
Body
Summary:
The replacement of an aging Fire Apparatus is critical. Staff recommends purchasing a 2020 Fire Engine from Toyne, Inc., Breda, IA / Allegiant Emergency Services, Sioux Falls, SD, for the amount of $540,243.00 through Sourcewell Contract #022818-TOY. This is the first year of a multi-year replacement of major equipment. The vehicle will be financed from a Landfill Internal Fund.
Background:
A Fire Engine replacement should occur every 18-years to effectively reduce maintenance costs and breakdowns. The Brookings Fire Department budgeted to replace a 2001 Fire Engine in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan. The Fire Engine is a very sophisticated piece of equipment and required the utilization of a specialized governmental approved service called Sourcewell. Within the next 10 years, five (5) engine trucks, one (1) rescue truck, and one (1) platform truck will need to be replaced.
Fiscal Impact:
The 2020 approved capital improvement plan (CIP) contains this budgeted item for $150,000. This is the first payment of a six-year term with internal financing from the Solid Waste Fund.
