Re: Purchase of Extrication Equipment
BACKGROUND:
In the zoi2 / i3 budget for the Fire Department the Board of Alderman approved the addition of
a second set of Holmatro extrication equipment.
This equipment will be used when we send the present set out for maintenance. In addition
having this set allows us to have this equipment available in Riverside when we help out our
mutual aid partner cities.
Per. Section i35.i3o: Sole Source Purchasing: Holmatro Power Equipment USA has franchise
agreements allowing for only one dealer to be capable of selling their equipment in each region.
Additionally, Per. Section i35.i3o: Sole Source Purchasing #i States that items that: City owned
equipment that requires total compatibility assurance. The new extrication equipment will be
interchanged and used in conjunction with the present equipment we already have on the
trucks. Deeming it is necessary for us to purchase Holmatro extrication equipment to be
compatible with our present equipment on the trucks.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to purchase the e�ctrication equipment using the
budgeted amount along with the remaining funds from the office furniture.
BUDGETARY IMPAGT:
The Fire Department was approved $i3,000 for a second set of Holmatro extrication
equipment. We have since received a new pricing for the eartrication equipment for $i6,235•25
this is $3235•25 over the budgeted amount. This is due to price increases by the manufacture. In
this same capital equipment budget we were also approved to buy new office furniture for
$8000. The furniture has since been purchased for the amount of $3,3i�.25; this price resulted
in us being under budget on the furniture by $4682.25. With the furniture coming in under
budget we are able to cover this cost increase of the extrication equipment and allowing us to
have $i446.631eft in this budget item.
