Explanation

Background: Brass Tag (BT) 17235, a 2001 Sutphen Aerial Tower fire truck used by the Fire Division needs extensive repairs due to an accident. Damages to the ladder, bucket and truck must be completed in order to place the vehicle back in service. The local franchisee of the Sutphen Corporation has provided the Fleet Management Division with a written repair of estimate in the amount of $37,365.00. This legislation authorizes and directs the Finance Director to issue a purchase order for the repair of BT-17235. A new fire truck of this type would typically cost approximately $700,000.00 to replace.

Sutphen's Contract Compliance Number is 310671786, expiration date 09/28/2004.

Fiscal Impact: Fleet Management budgets annually for repair services, however, significant repairs and rebuilds may require a supplemental appropriation later this year. These expenditures are offset by invoicing the Fire Division for this repair.

Emergency action is necessary so that repairs can be completed as soon as practical and place fire equipment back into service.

Fiscal Impact:
