City of San Leandro <br />Meeting Date: December 4, 2017 <br />Staff Report <br />Agenda Section:File Number:17-680 CONSENT CALENDAR <br />Agenda Number:8.F. <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Chris Zapata <br />City Manager <br />BY:David Baum <br />Finance Director <br />FINANCE REVIEW:David Baum <br />Finance Director <br />TITLE:Staff Report for a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into a <br />Purchase Agreement for the Acquisition of a Fire Ladder Truck from Pierce <br />Manufacturing Inc. for a Not-to-Exceed Price of $1,260,000 <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing acquisition of a <br />replacement fire ladder truck. The resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute the <br />purchase agreement and other documents necessary to finance the acquisition. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City's contract with the Alameda County Fire Department (ACFD) for fire services includes <br />provisions for City ownership of all fire facilities and equipment, including fire engines. Currently, <br />the apparatus in City service includes five engines and two ladder trucks. The 2017-18 Fire <br />Service Budget approved by the City Council included the replacement of a ladder truck based at <br />Station 12. The fire truck will replace a 1996 model, which the City acquired in 1996. <br /> <br />ACFD recently completed a competitive bid for multiple fire engines. Under State law, other local <br />agencies can utilize ACFD’s bid to acquire their own equipment. ACFD developed the <br />specifications for the equipment, which meet all safety and environmental requirements of the <br />City. <br /> <br />Through this “piggy-back” procurement on ACFD's bid and contract with Pierce Manufacturing, <br />the City will meet its equipment requirements and maintain consistency with equipment currently <br />in use. For these reasons, staff recommends that the City acquire a new fire truck utilizing <br />ACFD's bid. <br />Analysis <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/28/2017 <br />185
