In the FY2020 capital improvement program, $185,000 was appropriated for a new ambulance. The balance of the funds are available within the department's operating budget. Over the past few years, the City has purchased four 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. Although the program has ended, 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 is immediately available. This was to be the last full ambulance replacement planned for some time. As the units purchased through this program can now have a chassis replacement in lieu of a complete replacement, which should reduce the annual cost by approximately $60,000.
