RESOLUTION NO. 81- 195
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AUTHORIZING THE
PURCHASE OF ONE 1500-GPM FIRE PUMPER
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 one 1500-gpm fire pumper 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) One existing fire pumper in use by the
Santa Ana Fire Department is currently in defective
operational condition such that its continued availability
for fire protection purposes over the next year is
questionable.
(b) A replacement fire pumper is 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 a replacement fire pumper, the City
would not be able to obtain such a replacement for
approximately eighteen (18) months after award of the bid.
(d) Failure to acquire one replacement fire
pumper as soon as possible will jeopardize the ability of
the Santa Ana 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.
3. The purchase hereby authorized is in addition
to the purchases authorized by Resolution No. 81-92 of this
Council.
