As you have been - made �ware , through discussions of the CIP and the presentation of_ thc� annual report , this new rescue truc)c would replace our curr_ent 197$ model as the first respanse vehicle to medical calls . The current res�ue truck would become a utility support vehicle and a backup res�u.e truck in case of simultaneous calls, ' On the average, the Rosetnount Fire Depar.tment re�ponds to r�scues more than they respond t� any other �.�y�e of calls: Rescue c�I1s account for ap�roximatel� 6Q to 70 p�rcet�t of th� calls that cae do have. As you can see, the rescuc vehicle is t�ie most used and most critie�l piece of response equipment that we have. This rescue committee has been chair�d by Assistiant Chief, Jahn Strese with assistance f�om one of o�r fire fig�t�rs, Dan Corri�an. It was alsa ri�ade up of several othe� fi�e fighters for input. Dean Sandstrom, the city mechanic, graciously volunteered to assist u� with some of the more technical specifications �hat were needed, has attended almost every meeting that the committee has had and has been a very valuabl� asset in putting together our specifications . During the time the committ�e has been operating, the cities of Hastings, Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville, and Farmington have taken delivery of rescue and/or ambulance vehicles. The committee has visited most of these departments, looked at what they are using and have attempted to incorporate as many of the �ood ideas as possible into this vehicle to make it as workable and as efficient for the City a£ Rosemount as 3.s possible. They have also talked with various distributor� and visited manufacturers of rescue vehicles in order to best ascertain if certain design features they felt would be necessary could be � incorporated into such a vehicle. � Attached are those specifications which we have drawn up which seem to best fit the needs of the City of Rosemaunt . T will attempt ta have as many of the key people; John Strese, Dan Corrzgan, and Dean Sandstrom available at the council meeting to answer any qu.estions or provide clarification if you so desire. � Approva� a� Rescue Truck Specifications Fage 2 W+e wau�d �t �h�,� t�m� 1�c�1� t� Che �ity caunc3.� �o app�ov� the � specificatio�ne that are attached and authorize ue �o go out £or bids . Because the fire department inuolves itself so seldom in this process, it was necessary to draw on the expertise of other depa�tments as we brought all of this information together. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Steve Jilk, Sue Johnson, Linda Jentink, Deb Widstrom, Rich Hefti, and again Dean Sandstrom for all the help they prov�.ded to the committee. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. dw attachment CITY OF Ri�SEMOUNT �DYERTISEMENT OF BID Notice is hereby given that sealed bids will be received by the City of Rosemoant until 10:00 A.M., C.S.T., April b, 1990 and will then be publicly opened and read aloud.
