Commissioner Davis mentioned that Broward County is building some of their vehicles
in-house, and wondered whether the County might follow suit.
Department of Emergency Services Director John King stated that his staff did not have
enough space or time to construct the vehicles . He also explained that when a truck is
purchased, it is guaranteed to meet certain safety standards ; however, greater liabilities are
associated with homemade emergency vehicles . He thereafter presented staff s recommendation
for the Board to move forward with the purchase of the brush truck for Fire-Rescue Station 12 .
Commissioner Davis acknowledged the need to purchase the brush truck at this time, but
wanted Director King to explore the feasibility of constructing vehicles in-house.
Director King confirmed that he would report back to the Board on this matter.
The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the Motion
carried unanimously. The Board approved the purchase of
one medium-duty brush truck, with essential equipment,
from Ten- 8 Fire Equipment for a total of $202 ,630 . 00, as
recommended in the memorandum of December 8 , 2011 .
