Commissioner Davis mentioned that Broward County is building some of their vehicles <br /> in-house, and wondered whether the County might follow suit. <br /> Department of Emergency Services Director John King stated that his staff did not have <br /> enough space or time to construct the vehicles . He also explained that when a truck is <br /> purchased, it is guaranteed to meet certain safety standards ; however, greater liabilities are <br /> associated with homemade emergency vehicles . He thereafter presented staff s recommendation <br /> for the Board to move forward with the purchase of the brush truck for Fire-Rescue Station 12 . <br /> Commissioner Davis acknowledged the need to purchase the brush truck at this time, but <br /> wanted Director King to explore the feasibility of constructing vehicles in-house. <br /> Director King confirmed that he would report back to the Board on this matter. <br /> The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion <br /> carried unanimously. The Board approved the purchase of <br /> one medium-duty brush truck, with essential equipment, <br /> from Ten- 8 Fire Equipment for a total of $202 ,630 . 00, as <br /> recommended in the memorandum of December 8 , 2011 . <br /> ALL BACKUP DOCUMENTATION, RESOLUTIONS , AND ORDINANCES ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE <br /> OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD AND ARE HEREBY MADE A PART OF THESE MINUTES <br /> December 20, 2011 2 <br /> ESD B{ 14 1 PG 8 2 7 <br />�I <br />
