Item 4.2. MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Bruce a. West, Fire Chief' ~--~/~ April 23, 2001 SUBJECT: Authorization to Re-Advertise Pumper Specifications On behalf of the Elk River Fire Department Truck Committee I am requesting Council approval to re-advertise for bids for a new frre department pumper. The truck committee has met to revise and resubmit to the Mayor and City Council a new set of specifications for the f~re department pumper apparatus. The truck committee has implemented into the specifications new changes in the f~re truck industry. The following is a list of major changes that have been included in this set of f~re pumper specifications: Larger crew cab - Introduced into the medium price £rre truck market is a larger crew cab. The original set of specifications was for a 54" crew cab. Within the new set of specifications we have included a 67" cab after discovering the larger cab was within our price proposal. Underbody painting - Underbody painting is a key issue the truck committee found that varied among the frre truck bidders. To alleviate this variable among the vendors, we have specified in the new set of specifications the importance of underbody painting of the entire truck. Our newly purchased f~re truck has a life expectancy of 20+ years and the truck committee wants to assure the longevity with this important truck specification. Hydraulic generator - This is an item that has been a pleasant surprise for the truck committee within the fire truck industry. In the past, hydraulic generators for f~re trucks have always been very expensive and large in size. The f~re truck industry has recently introduced a 6000 watt hydraulic generator at an affordable price. I have discussed this improvement in our proposal with City Administrator Pat I~aers and he has approved this inclusion ~vithin our specifications. The benefit of a hydraulic generator is that we will not have an additional gas powered engine to service and maintain. The hydraulic generator is powered from the chassis transmission. This hydraulic generator option is available to all frre truck vendors and we are excited about this affordable generator system. Daytime running lights - Daytime running lights have been added to all frre trucks as a safety feature. This maybe a minor specification change but an important one as safety is always #1. 370 HP Cummins diesel engine - The specification of the 370 HP Cummins engine will assure the continuity of bids referencing the fire pumper engine requirement. All fire truck vendors shall have the ability and availability of this engine specification. The fzre department truck committee has worked very hard to implement new changes within the fire truck industry into our truck specifications. We believe the only price variation in the pumper apparatus specifications will be the change in the generating generator system. Our goal if to have the bids priced in the $255,000 range. After bid opening, the truck committee will review any and all bid specifications. The bid award shall be based on, but not necessarily limited to, the factors of price, delivery date, city's experience with the products proposed, city's experience with the service proposed, city's evaluation of the bidders ability to service in terms of the requirements as called for in the specifications, quality of merchandise offered, analysis and comparison of specifications detail. If you have any questions in reference to the pumper apparatus prior to the Council Meeting please feel free to call me at the Elk river Fire Department at 763-441-4919. I will be in attendance at the April 23, 2001 meeting to answer any questions the Mayor and Council may have.
