In the FY2019 capital improvement program, $185,000 was appropriated for a new ambulance. Over the past few years, the City has purchased three ambulances from Sugarloaf Rescue as part of a group bid developed for several southern Maine Communities. This group purchase has afforded the City the opportunity to purchase a truck at a lower price due to the number of trucks being ordered. In addition, Sugarloaf Rescue Vehicles, has recently notified the fire department of an available demonstrator vehicle that has been built to the Southern Maine bid specifications and matches our current trucks in service. The the lead time for an ordered truck is 10 months and the demonstrator unit (with less than 1000 miles) is immediately available. At this time, the Fire Department is seeking approval to buy the demo truck. This truck is $4,500 less than the estimated price on a truck order and the price can be further reduced with a $6000 trade allowance on our oldest truck and stretcher. The final purchase price would be $169,675.
