#1217 pumper - 2002 Luveme, 5065 engine hours, maint $30,701 ($7675 per year) 2013-2016
He explained that an in-house fleet mechanic would be beneficial in keeping the vehicles well
maintained and locally instead of our of town and out of service for a time period.
He gave a projected 4% increase per year for the purchase of a fire truck. the 2016 cost of the 1215
replacement is $665,000 but 2017 would be $691,600 estimate.
Pumper truck replacement plan is at 15 years with it in reserves for 5 years.
1217 is 14 years old, newest fire truck, some repair issues needed
1215 is 21 years old, needs to be replaced
both out of service frequently and leaves the City with only 1 truck on numerous occasions.
We are surrounded by volunteer fire departments and it takes time for mutual aid to come help in the
event our pumper truck is down. Assistance is not readily available.
KME - $591,486 (did not meet specs, longer and doesn't fit in station, body material different) didn't
qualify
E-One - $599,986 (met all specs with exception of battery, not an issue)
Ferrara - $692,135 (met specs, shorter wheel base and shorter length)
Suggesting going with E-One by Banner Fire Equipment as the best bid (local service available)
Safety features: ergonomically safer, deck gun remotely controlled, hose accessibility, equipment is
chest high instead of overhead.

NFPA standards are trying to limit the amount of time the firefighter is on top of the apparatus in order
to help prevent falls. Also makes accessing equipment easier and faster.
Lt. Mike Lutz
Banner Fire Equipment - $66,665
Mac's - no bid
AEC - $33,051 missing significant amount of equipment
Request for purchase of 2017 E-One Pumper for total of $666,651, needs to be awarded 11/14/16
to authorize 2016 pricing, esti delivery 270-300 days. Lutz indicated he called today and they
indicated a 3.? increase January 1.
Bair is not eligible for Mad Co towards this pumper, 51% needs to be low to moderate income, we
are 41% as a whole.
Brombo - committee spent a great deal of time and research to find the best apparatus to meet City's
needs.
Moss - when are reserved units used. Benker - due to maint issues and equipment available, reserve
is being used regularly. Essentially, reserved vehicles will be used to fill in while one is down for
service or add'l vehicles are needed at another location due to multiple calls but won't be rotated into
service to keep mileage down. Equipment on the older trucks are 20 years old also, not as efficient,
accessible, or cumbersome to use in some situations.
Manufacture is willing to hold the price until 11/14/16.
Brombo - ok to move forward
Moss - budget? Bair - funds are available and was originally budgeted for.
Stehman - supports getting the truck but would like for the new Chief to have input, Benker said new
Chief will be able to have some input since final order goes in after pre-build.
Mayor asked how much the old pumper is worth to sell out write - Benker $20-30K.
Mayor in favor to proceeding.
Kypta and Moss - willing to move forward and only concerns are budgetary
