RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to American LaFrance of Los Angeles, under the
contract with Clark County, Nevada, for the purchase of a mobile
air/light truck in the amount of $290,616.
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The program is designed to replace outdated equipment in accordance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
NFPA 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 I Fire Department.
Due to age, one 1985 air/light unit meets the schedule for replacement.
The delivery time with American LaFrance of Los Angeles is nine months.
The air/light truck is a self-contained emergency vehicle, providing
the on-scene filling of the firefighters' breathing apparatus bottles,
and area floodlighting.
Santa Aha City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to make
purchases using contracts from any public agency utilizing a
competitive bid process. The Clark County, Nevada contract with
American LaFrance was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding,
and meets the City's requirements.
