BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to associate all General Budget Reservations resulting from this ordinance with the appropriate universal Term Contract (UTC) Purchase Agreement for auto body work.

The on-board equipment in the vehicle facilitates on-scene communication by virtually any agency on an incident scene. This vehicle is in need of the complete replacement of interior walls and floor of the front of the vehicle due to prolonged water leakage from a mounted communication equipment piece on the roof of the CERV. The equipment will also need replaced.
