The engine has 13,062 hours and is being rebuilt due to excessive oil consumption due to wear of internal engine parts. Unless the engine is <br /> rebuilt it will continue to degrade until it is no longer reliable. <br /> The City received two quotes from Cummins approved mechanics: <br /> Rush Truck Centers quote of$30,535.01 <br /> Cummins Midstate Power quote of$32,139.07 <br /> The quote from Rush Truck Centers for the rebuild of the engine was lower but the warranty was significantly less at 1 year <br /> compared to the warranty from Cummins Midstate Power Inc.of 3 years or 150,000 miles. It was decided that Cummins Midstate <br /> Power Inc.provided the better quote when including the 3-year warranty. The fire truck in question will be on front line duty for <br /> at least 2 more years until a replacement truck arrives and it can be placed in reserve. <br /> The engine rebuild is estimated to be completed in 30 days after approval. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: None. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Decatur Fire Department <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Newell,Public Works Director,Chris Bergschneider,Fleet Supervisor.Matt Newell will be in <br /> attendance at the City Council meeting to answer any questions of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: <br /> Funding for engine repair of this nature is provided in the FY2024 Budget. <br /> LEGAL REVIEW: There are no contracts for Legal to review. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Resolution Accepting the Cummins Midstate Power Inc.
