SUMMARY
The adoption of this Resolution will declare one (1) aged out Fire Modular Ambulance that is deemed un-useable, listed in Exhibit “A”, as surplus property and will authorize the City Manager to donate or dispose of said vehicle to Fire Trucks Unlimited.
BACKGROUND
The Department advertised a Request for Proposals on December 1, 2021, to build out a Type 1 Ambulance (Paramedic Unit) Remount using a 2021 Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel and attach one of the current ambulance’s patient compartments to the new truck chassis in The Bulletin Newspaper. Fire Trucks Unlimited was the only vendor that submitted a proposal and staff qualified their proposal as responsive and comprehensive.
The Fire Modular Ambulance has exceeded the useful life expectancy and can no longer be safely used or operated by City staff. Therefore, it is recommended that this item be designated as surplus City property and be donated or disposed of by Firetrucks Unlimited.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
This Apparatus has been used beyond their economical and/or useful life span whereby declaring the vehicle as surplus property. This surplus vehicle will be donated to Fire Trucks Unlimited. By making this donation, the recipient has agreed to make the necessary arrangements for the disposal of the vehicle frame.
The Compton Municipal Code Section 4-11.10., Sale of City Personal Property, provides the sale, donation or disposal of materials, supplies, equipment or other personal property which has become unfit for municipal purposes as stated in the following:

In the event such materials, supplies, equipment or other personal property has a sale value of more than $500, the City Manager shall obtain the consent and approval of the City Council before authorizing the sale, donation or disposal thereof.
In order to declare this aged out vehicle as surplus property, City Council authorization is necessary.

There will be no fiscal impact to the City or the Fire Department for the disposal of the fire modular ambulance.
