Fire Department <br /> DATE: 11/5/2021 <br /> MEMO: 2021-14 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe and City Council <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton,City Manager <br /> Jeff Abbott,Fire Chief <br /> SUBJECT: Resolution adding additional funds for the repair of 2006 Pierce ladder truck by Pierce Manufacturing <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that City Council approve the attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into an <br /> agreement with Pierce Manufacturing for the repair of the ladder truck not to exceed$53,000.00. <br /> BACKGROUND: The ladder truck is a 2006 Pierce Dash that has been out-of-service since September 2019. In February of <br /> 2020,the council approved a resolution for the repair of the frame rails,torque box and aerial ladder. The truck's repair was <br /> delayed because of COVID shutdowns and did not go to Pierce for repair until April 2020. The truck was dismantled at the <br /> repair facility and additional extensive corrosion was discovered. The additional repairs need to be made so that the truck will <br /> pass certification testing. Once repaired,the truck will be used as the reserve ladder truck for 5-7 additional years. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: February 2020,the council approved the initial repairs. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Jeff Abbott,Fire Chief;Chris Bergschneider,Fleet Maintenance Supervisor;Jim Ohl,Deputy Fire <br /> Chief <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> The repair for the original corrosion issue is underway. This additional work should be completed within 1-2 months. <br /> This repair was not included in the 2021 budget because the final cost was not known at the time the budget was completed. The <br /> funds for repair are available in the Fund 61,Fire Capital,and they will be reconciled later in the year with council's budget <br /> authorization. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL <br /> FUNDS FOR THE REPAIR OF 2006 PIERCE Resolution Letter <br /> LADDER TRUCK BY PIERCE MANUFACTURING <br />
