Indian River County, Florida <br />MEMORANDUM <br />File ID: 25-0585 Type: Consent Staff Report <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />David Johnson, Director of Emergency Services <br />FROM: David Kiernan, Deputy Fire Chief <br />Department of Emergency Services <br />DATE: May 14, 2025 <br />SUBJECT: Approval for Purchase of Fire Rescue Apparatus <br />QL <br />Indian River County <br />Administration Complex <br />1801 27th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />indianriver.gov <br />Meeting Date: 6/3/2025 <br />BACKGROUND <br />Indian River County Fire Rescue budgeted for the purchase of one (1) Hazardous Materials Response <br />Apparatus (Ops 5) in Year 2 (2025/2026) of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/2025 Capital Improvement Element <br />(CIE). Due to the continued delays amongst emergency vehicle manufacturers and the extensive build time <br />(minimum of 28-30 months for this specialized apparatus), this puts any orders placed today into FY <br />2027/2028. <br />The total cost of the Fire Rescue Hazardous Materials Apparatus programmed into the CIE for FY 2025/2026 is <br />$1,500,000. Although the funds would not be expended until delivery, staff is requesting the Board's approval <br />to allow a Purchase Order to be issued to order Ops 5 and secure Sourcewell Contract #113021-SUT pricing of <br />$1,498,450, which is $1,550 under budget. This will also avoid the price increase expected in June of this year. <br />ANALYSIS <br />N/A <br />BUDGETARYIMPACT <br />Funding for Ops 5, in the amount of $1,498,450, will be included in the Fiscal Year 2025/2026 budget in the <br />Optional Sales Tax/Fire Services/Automotive account, number 31512022-066420. <br />Account Name <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Optional Sales Tax/Fire Services/Automotive <br />31512022-066420 <br />$1,498,450 <br />PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS <br />N/A <br />Indian River County, Florida Page 1 of 2 Printed on 5/29/2025 <br />pow III <br />IV Legistar'TM <br />
