That the City Council finds and determines <br />that the purchase of two 1500-gpm fire pumpers meeting Fire <br />Department specifications from Crown Fire Coach is of urgent <br />necessity for the preservation of life, health, and property <br />for the following reasons: <br /> <br /> (a) Two existing fire pumpers in use by the <br />Santa Aha Fire Department are currently in defective <br />operational condition such that their continued availability <br />for fire protection purposes over the next year is <br />questionable. <br /> <br /> (b) Replacement fire pumpers are presently <br />available for purchase from Crown Fire Coach of Los Angeles <br />with delivery within 120 days. <br /> <br /> (c) If the City were to advertise for <br />competitive bids for replacement fire pumpers, the City <br />would not be able to obtain such replacements for <br />approximately eighteen (18) months after award of the bid. <br /> <br /> (d) Failure to acquire two replacement fire <br />pumpers as soon as possible will jeopardize the ability of <br />the Santa Aha Fire Department to maintain current fire- <br />fighting capability, thereby endangering the life, health, <br />and property of the public. <br /> <br /> 2. That, based on the facts hereinabove set <br />forth, the City Council does hereby authorize the abovesaid <br />purchase without advertising for bids, subject to the <br />approval by the City Council of the written purchase <br />contract. <br /> <br /> ADOPTED this l~th day of Juna <br />the following vote: <br /> <br />, 1981, by <br /> <br />AYES: <br /> <br />NOES: <br /> <br />ABSENT: <br /> <br />COUNCILMEMBERS: <br />COUNCILMEMBERS: <br />COUNCILMEMBERS: <br /> <br />Acosta, Griset, Luxembour§er, <br />Markel, McGuigan, Serrato <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />Bricken <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />EDWARD J . ~,dOOPER ' <br />CITY ATTORNEY <br /> <br /> <br />
