Emergency Services Director John King responded to questions by stating that these
trucks have a service life of about 10 years. The truck being replaced is approaching 15 years
and has over 150,000 miles on it. It had a major overhaul in 1997 and covers the whole County.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther,
SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board
unanimously approved Alternative No. 2 (approved the
purchase of the Pierce Manufacturing new
demonstrator that nearly matches the specifications of
the vehicle identified in Alternative No. 1 at a cost of
$787,392 or approximately $10,000 more than
Alternative No. 1, largely due to the fact that it has a
greater capacity fire pump \[2000 gpm versus 1500
th
gpm\] available on May 14; consistent with the Lake
County fire equipment contract \[Bid #99-150\];
allowing the 75’quint to be sent to Station No. 8
\[Sebastian\] as originally presented to the Board,
replacing a fire engine currently assigned there),
including the trade-in of three (3) existing fire vehicles
to reduce the overall cost and authorized the County
Administrator to make the necessary financial
arrangements related to accepting this vehicle prior to
next fiscal year, as recommended by staff.
