Approval of Expenditure for Vehicle EquipmentCITY OF ROSEXOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 16, 1991 AGENDA ITEM: AGENDA SECTION: Expenditure for Vehicle Equipment Consent PREPARED BY: AGEND I M Scott Aker, Fire Chief" ATTACHMENTS: APF VE 'BY:i / None t As we have proceeded through the pumper certification for the ISO insurance process, it was determined that one area where we are in need of improvement or changes on our pumpers was in the use of wheel chocks. We have for some time ;carried 4 x 4's on all of our vehicles to block the tires of the pumpers when they are in a pumping situation. However, it was brought to our attention that this type of a system, although probably adequate, would not be viewed as such by ISO and possibly ©SHA. What they require is devices actually designed for that purpose and mounted right on the vehicle. For that reason, we sought bids to have these wheel chocks installed on all our three pumpers and the aerial truck. Telephone -quotes indicated prices would be as, follows: I Mounting Wheel Chochs Brackets Each' Total General Safety $ 110.00 $ 50.00 $ 160.00 x 4 $ 640.00 Clarey Safety 138.42 95.00 233.42 x 4 933.68 1 Custom Fire 160.00 120.00 280.00 x 4 1,120.00 All of the quotes we have received are for the merchandise only and installation of the brackets would be done by us. This expenditure would come out of Account #101-42210-01-580. Although; not specifically designated as aline item in the 1991 budget, this category should have sufficient funds to complete this equipment purchase.' We would like to proceed and order the wheel chocks and brackets to be installed on the three pumpers and the aerial truck at a cost of $640.00 from General Fire and Safety in North Branch.'
