DISCUSSION
The Fire Department has adopted a comprehensive and systematic
replacement program for Fire Department emergency response vehicles.
The program is designed to replace outdated equipment in accordance
with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1500. The
standard recommends a limit of 15 years to frontline service units,
with a reserve status of five years. The standards are part of the
requirements for maintaining a recognized Class 1 Fire Department. Due
to age, one 1981 pumper meets the schedule for replacement. The
delivery time with American LaFrance of Los Angeles is at a nine-month
period.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to make
purchases using contracts from any public agency. The County of
Ventura's contract with American LaFrance was awarded as a result of
open, competitive bidding, and meets the City's requirements.
