That the City Council finds and determines <br />that the purchase of one 1500-gpm fire pumper 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) One existing fire pumper in use by the <br />Santa Ana Fire Department is currently in defective <br />operational condition such that its continued availability <br />for fire protection purposes over the next year is <br />questionable. <br /> <br /> (b) A replacement fire pumper is 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 a replacement fire pumper, the City <br />would not be able to obtain such a replacement for <br />approximately eighteen (18) months after award of the bid. <br /> <br /> (d) Failure to acquire one replacement fire <br />pumper as soon as possible will jeopardize the ability of <br />the Santa Ana 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 /> 3.
