SUBJECT: Purchase of Portable Monitor
Deck Guns
In the 1997 Equipment Reserve Section of the City of Elk River budget is the
allotment for the Fire Department to purchase two portable monitor deck
guns to be placed on the Fire Department pumpers. The Fire Department
portable monitors are an important equipment item in reference to
maximizing the points attained for a pumper truck in reference to the ISO
survey points for a Fire Department's pumper truck. I have requested bids
from three Fire Department equipment suppliers for the purchase of an
Elkhart Portable Monitor No. 8297-25 with mounting bracket. The following
bids were received:
Metro Fire Equipment
Clarey's Safety Equipment
Danko Emergency Equipment Co.
$1,900.00
$2 ,O96.25
$1,950.00
At this time I would like to accept the bid of Metro Fire Equipment Co. for
the purchasing of two Elkhart Portable Monitors for a total of $3,800.00.
At this time I would also hke to advise the City Administrator, Mayor, and
City Council, that Celebrity Bowl Charities has approached the Elk River
Fire Department in reference to equipment items the Fire Department may
need that could be purchased with charitable gambhng donations. I have
been advised by George Larson, from Elk River Bowl, that Celebrity Bowl
Charities will be submitting a check to the City of Elk River for the purchase
of one Portable Monitor for the Elk River Fire Department. With the
purchase at this time of the two Portable Monitors from the equipment
reserve fund, when a check is submitted to the City of Elk River from
Celebrity Bowl Charities for the purchase of one portable monitor the money
will be put back into the equipment reserve fund for future use.
