Title, Order
Authorizing Ambulance Purchase from Sugarloaf Rescue Vehicles in the Amount of$168,361 and waiving the
bid process
Summary
This order will waive the bid process and authorize the purchase of an ambulance from Sugarloaf Rescue in
the amount of$168,361. In 2016, the Fire Department acquired an ambulance utilizing a group bid
developed by southern Maine Communities that was awarded to Sugarloaf Rescue Vehicles. Recently, the
vendor contacted the department regarding the availability of a demonstrator unit (less than 1,000 miles).
This unit was built to the group bid specifications and matches our recent purchase. In addition to being
pleased with the performance of the recent ambulance acquisition, the benefit of utilizing this bid is that we
gain some uniformity of equipment which makes it easier to maintain and store parts. Additionally, the
availability of this demonstrator unit will save the city money and up to 10 months delivery time. The
budgeted amount was $175,000.
On July 17, 2017, the Finance Committee recommended to the full council that the bid process be waived and
the demonstrator unit be purchased in the amount of$168,361.
