This item is a request for authorization to pay for repairs that were done
to our aerial truck (35180). The main pulley assembly which drives the
belts for the alternator, the water pump, etc. sheared off and a new one
had to be fabricated and adapted to fit the front drive shaft. In order to
minimize downtime, repairs were initiated with authorization from the City
Administrator;
As usual,, General Safety and Custom Fire Apparatus were reluctant to work
on this particular vehicle due to the complexity and problems that are
usually involved with repairs. They consented to work on the vehicle this
time if we needed them since the repairs were in the engine and not the
pump or some other part of the vehicle. A telephone quote from both of
them and Emergency Apparatus Maintenance put the repairs somewhere above
$1,000. They.were all in the same ballpark and could not be much more
specific than that without looking at the vehicle. In order to have Custom
Fire Apparatus or General Safety work on the vehicle or give us a more
specific bid, the vehicle would have had to have been towed to one of their
two locations. Forth t reason we opted to go with Emergency Apparatus
Maintenance because they are able to do repairs at the station and did come
down and look at the vehicle a head of time.
The vehicle has been repaired and is back in service. The cost of repairs
is $1,406.46. Money has been budgeted in Account #101-42210-01-229 to
accomplish these repairs.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to authorize the
fire department to pay the bill in the amount of
$1,406.46 to Emergency
Maintenance Apparatus for repairs of the aerial
truck with monies to
come from Account #101-42210-01-229.
