t« � • • <br /> COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM <br /> PURCHASING& INTERNAL SERVICES MEMORANDUM <br /> #06-65 <br /> October 25, 2006 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council <br /> FROM: Steve G , City Manager <br /> Ron Neufe , Financial Management Director � <br /> Deborah M. Perry, Purchasing Supervisor�,�p <br /> � <br /> SUBJECT: Additional Cost for Diesel Exhaust Extraction System <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends increasing contract to <br /> Midwest Air Pro to provide an automatic retraction system on the diesel exhaust <br /> extraction system at Fire Station#1 located at 1415 N. Water Street. <br /> BACKGROUND: A contract was previously awarded to Midwest Air Pro in May of <br /> this year to furnish a I�Federman diesel e�iaust extraction system at Fire Station 1. <br /> The Fire Department requested an automatic rewind on the system since Fire Station #1 <br /> is a drive through bay and is seventy five feet long. When Midwest submitted the bid <br /> Nederman was in the middle of field testing the automatic retraction system and had not <br /> released it for use on the unit. Since that time the testing is complete and has met all <br /> necessary safety requirements. <br /> According to Mark Hansen, the automatic retraction system will save a great deal of time <br /> as compared to having to rewind the unit by hand each time a fire truck leaves the station. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Fire Department requested the automatic <br /> retraction system. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Matt Sekosky, Fire Chief, 424-2811 and Mark Hansen, Deputy <br /> Fire Chief, 424-2811, will both be at the council meeting to answer any questions <br /> council may have about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET: $3325 from an 80/20 share program from the Federal Assistance to Fire <br /> Fighters Grant through the Department of Homeland Security for op�rations and safety. <br />
