� . . <br /> COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM <br /> PURCHASING & INTERNAL SERVICES MEMORANDUM <br /> #04 - 30 <br /> July 27, 2004 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council <br /> FROM: Steve Garman, City Manager <br /> Ron Neufeld, Financial Management Director <br /> Deborah M. Perry, Purchasing Supervisor�.� <br /> SUBJECT: Bids for Diesel Exhaust Extraction System <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends awarding contract to Midwest Air <br /> Pro to furnish one (1) 2004 Nederman Magna Track diesel e�chaust extraction system for Fire <br /> Station#5 located at 225 Christine Drive. <br /> BACKGROUND: The extraction system helps eliminate diesel soot and carcinogens in the cold <br /> diesel smoke when starting the fire trucks inside the fire station. A large hose is connected to the <br /> tailpipe of the fire truck and a fan then extracts the smoke out of the building. <br /> The Fire Department is requesting the second low bid of Midwest Air Pro be accepted. The City <br /> currently has three of the Nederman systems in place. Deputy Fire Chief Hansen states that all <br /> the reserve apparatus has been modified to accommodate the Nederman e�chaust connection. <br /> Magna Grip does not utilize the same type of connector which means reserve equipment could ' <br /> not be rotated to different stations when required. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTION: None. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The system was requested by the Fire Department and <br /> they wrote the bid specifications. They recommend approval of bid. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Les Albert, Fire Chief 424-2811, Mark Hansen, Deputy Fire Chief <br /> 424-2811, will both be at the council meeting to answer any questions the council may have <br /> about this purchase. <br /> BUDGET: $11,200 from Public Works Capital budget. <br />
