Date: October 12, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Staff to Negotiate with Pierce Manufacturing for
the Purchase of a Ladder Truck in an Amount not to Exceed
$1,200,000
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary: As part of the FY 2017 budget process, the Fire Department has been approved
to purchase a new ladder truck. The department has requested the ability to negotiate directly
with Pierce Manufacturing to purchase this vehicle. Every fire truck purchased since 1982 has
been manufactured by Pierce Manufacturing. The department would like to maintain
consistency within the fleet based on; common parts inventory, the mechanic being factory
certified, the department having the necessary diagnostic equipment, the ability of the
manufacturer to replace body components for the life of the vehicle and the availability of
technical support within the State.
This request was reviewed and approved by the Finance Committee at its October 3, 2016 meeting.
As this contract will be in excess of $100,000 it must be reviewed approved by the City Council.
