5 - RESOLUTION NO. 22-R-67: A Resolution to Approve the Purchase of a Horton
Ambulance from Foster Coach
President Johnson noted the Fire Department has included the replacement of one ambulance and
equipment in the 2022-2023 Village Budget in the amount of $350,000. The Fire Department is
seeking to purchase a Horton ambulance distributed by Foster Coach using the Suburban
Purchasing Cooperative bid. Foster Coach currently has the 2022 Suburban Purchasing
Cooperative (SPC) low bid for a Type I Ford F550 ambulance.
The Fire Department has received a quote from Foster Coach for the ambulance and equipment
for a total amount of $385,929.00. This purchase includes a Stryker patient cot and loading system
as well as a Zoll cardiac monitor. The bid amount is $35,929 over budget. Horton has offered a
prepayment discount in the amount of $6,661.00 and a performance bond has been requested in
the amount of $1,350.00 and if applied, would bring the total cost for the ambulance and equipment
to $380,618.00, or $30,618.00 over budget.
Horton ambulances distributed by Foster Coach are the Department's first choice for an
ambulance. The Fire Department has been very satisfied with the high-quality product Horton
manufacturers. The experience with Foster Coach has demonstrated that their product has superior
quality, reliability, and an excellent warranty service. Since the Fire Department fleet now includes
all Horton ambulances, this consistency will provide operational and safety advantages, such as
the same parts, the same configuration, and service personnel.
After receiving the quote, staff reviewed the ambulance specification to determine if there was any
ability to cut costs. A line-by-line review determined that there were no non-essential items. Staff
also contacted Foster Coach to discuss the additional cost of the ambulance. The additional cost is
due to recent product increases for the Ford Chassis and materials used to build the ambulance
itself.
Staff has available funding in the amount of $17,000.00 from remaining capital funds from the air

bag purchase and $13,618 from the Fire Fund to cover the additional costs.
Village staff recommends the approval of the Resolution to purchase a new Horton Ambulance
and Equipment from Foster Coach in the amount of $380,618 with the prepayment option and to
authorize the execution of the purchase by the Village Administrator.
President Johnson asked if there were any public comments, and there were none. Trustees Adams
and Garrity offered comments and support for the item.
Trustee Krummick moved to approve item 5, and Tmstee Connell seconded. The motion carried
on roll call vote as follows:
AYES: Trustees Adams, Garrity, Hickey, Krummick, and Connell
NAYS: None
