EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION

NONE
APP VED Y:
This item is a request for authorization to proceed with repairs to our
1961, 33 year old pumper. This particular vehicle has developed a leak in
the water tank. The leak appears to be down towards the bottom of the tank
so we are unable to carry any water at this time.
Telephone quotes from General Fire Apparatus, Custom Fire, and Emergency
Apparatus Repair, indicate that a repair of this type is done on a time and
materials basis. All three places indicate that their charge is $45.00 per
hour. They also estimate that the cost will be somewhere between $500 and
$800 dollars.
Emergency Apparatus Maintenance is the company we have been dealing with
most recently when we had repairs on our aerial truck. They are also the
one company that will come down to pick up the vehicle and also return it
at no additional charge. For that reason, we would be looking to go with
them for the repairs if they would be able to take it as soon as we receive
authorization.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to authorize the fire department to spend
up to $800 for repairs to pumper 35182.
