RESOLUTION NO. 81-92
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING
THE PURCHASE OF TWO 1500-GPM FIRE
PUMPERS MEETING FIRE DEPARTMENT
SPECIFICATIONS FROM CROWN FIRE
COACH AS AN URGENCY PROJECT WITHOUT
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS, AND STATING
THE FACTS CONSTITUTING SUCH URGENCY
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA:
1. That the City Council finds and determines
that the purchase of two 1500-gpm fire pumpers meeting Fire
Department specifications from Crown Fire Coach is of urgent
necessity for the preservation of life, health, and property
for the following reasons:
(a) Two existing fire pumpers in use by the
Santa Aha Fire Department are currently in defective
operational condition such that their continued availability
for fire protection purposes over the next year is
questionable.
(b) Replacement fire pumpers are presently
available for purchase from Crown Fire Coach of Los Angeles
with delivery within 120 days.
(c) If the City were to advertise for
competitive bids for replacement fire pumpers, the City
would not be able to obtain such replacements for
approximately eighteen (18) months after award of the bid.
(d) Failure to acquire two replacement fire
pumpers as soon as possible will jeopardize the ability of
the Santa Aha Fire Department to maintain current fire-
fighting capability, thereby endangering the life, health,
and property of the public.
2. That, based on the facts hereinabove set
forth, the City Council does hereby authorize the abovesaid
purchase without advertising for bids, subject to the
approval by the City Council of the written purchase
contract.
