CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City of Anaheim
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
DATE: MARCH 28, 2023
FROM: FINANCE DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: APPROVE INCREASE IN THE COST TO PURCHASE
TWO FIRE ENGINES
ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 15
GOVERNMENT CODE § 84308 APPLIES: YES
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council, by Motion, waive the bidding requirement of Council Policy 4.0, and approve an increase in the cost to purchase one Pierce fire engine and one Pierce fire truck from South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc. by $168,725.73, raising the total cost of the purchase from $3,093,727.73 to $3,262,453.46.
DISCUSSION:
The purchase of the pumper truck and tiller aerial truck was approved by Council on March 7. On March 8, prior to placing the order for the two new vehicles, staff received information from the supplier, South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc, that the engines for both vehicles would have to be upgraded to meet the new EPA regulations coming in 2027. The Cummins diesel engines for each vehicle will be upgraded beginning with the 2026 model year. Due to the size of the cost increase, staff is requesting Council approve the cost increase.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Funding for these purchases will come from the Public Works Department’s Fleet & Facilities Motorized Equipment Fund budget for Fiscal Year 2022/23.
