1 | P a g eUNDERSTANDING OF THE CITY'S NEEDS Fire Apparatus Solutions understands that meeting the City's expectations begins with clear communication,proactive planning, and a thorough understanding of the Department's operational needs. With extensive ex-perience serving the City of Rialto and numerous fire departments throughout California, fire apparatus ser-vice and support is our sole focus. Whether performing maintenance, emergency repairs, major projects, or specialized training, our priority is developing a clear plan to ensure the work is completed effi-ciently and with minimal impact to fleet readiness. Maintenance Our maintenance program begins by identifying the apparatus to be serviced, reviewing mileage and engine hour intervals, and establishing appropriate 6- to 12-month service schedules. This approach helps ensure each vehicle is maintained safely and reliably while avoiding unnecessary service and expense. Repair Management When repairs are required, we work closely with Department personnel to understand operational demands, staffing, seasonal conditions, and apparatus availability before scheduling work. Our goal is to maximize fleet availability by coordinating repairs efficiently and minimizing apparatus downtime. Major repairs are only dis-assembled when replacement parts are available whenever practical, allowing for the quickest possible return to service. For emergency breakdowns, we immediately assess the situation and determine the most effective response, whether dispatching a field technician, coordinating towing services, or mobilizing additional personnel. Emergency requests are coordinated through our office, Service Manager, or Lead Mechanic, whose contact information is shared with the Department to ensure timely communication. We also establish designated points of contact with decision-making authority to streamline approvals and expedite emergency response. Fleet Maintenance Services Fire Apparatus Solutions performs annual NFPA pump testing on-site, including preliminary vacuum and pressure testing to verify pump performance before conducting the official test. Annual aerial inspections are coordinated with the Department, with third-party certified ladder inspections performed either at our facility or at the customer's location. We also provide 90-day BIT inspections at fire stations whenever practical, allowing apparatus to remain in service while identifying potential steering, braking, lighting, and other safety concerns before they become critical. Fleet reliability is achieved through strong working relationships with Department personnel, engineers, and fleet staff. Open communication allows us to address concerns promptly, identify recurring issues, and con-tinually improve maintenance practices through consistent feedback and repair history. Documentation and Reporting Comprehensive documentation begins as soon as the apparatus arrives at our facility or our technicians arrive on-site. Vehicle identification information, mileage, build numbers, photographs, and customer concerns are documented immediately. Our Dealer Management System (DMS) provides both desktop and mobile access, allowing technicians to enter real-time, time-stamped service records. The system maintains a complete history of repairs, labor, parts used, and service recommendations. Completed work orders are provided in both printed and electronic for-mats for the Department's records. 1| P a g eService Delivery Approach Fire Apparatus Solutions recommends scheduling annual maintenance during lower-demand op-erational periods to maximize fleet availability during peak response seasons. scheduling also al-lows flexibility for unforeseen repairs throughout the year. Higher-use apparatus may require more frequent maintenance intervals based on mileage and operating hours, while lower-use units can remain on annual schedules. Emergency repairs receive immediate priority and are coordinated through our Lead Mechanic or Service Manager to minimize downtime. Routine service requests are managed through our office staff, who document concerns, schedule work, and coordinate re-pairs with Department personnel. Communication and Coordination Communication with the City will be maintained through email, telephone, and in-person meetings. We begin each contract with a coordination meeting to review expectations, establish communication procedures, and discuss any changes in operational needs. Ongoing coordination ensures maintenance, repairs, training, and project work are scheduled efficiently and completed with minimal disruption to Department operations. Quality Assurance Every apparatus serviced by Fire Apparatus Solutions undergoes a comprehensive quality control inspection before being returned to service. Regardless of the original repair, each vehicle receives a functional systems check appropriate for its apparatus type. Pumpers receive operational testing of pumps, emergency lighting, warning devices, and other critical sys-tems. Aerial apparatus additionally receive operational testing of ladder functions and associated equipment. These inspections are completed in addition to verifying the original repair and are reviewed by the Lead Me-chanic or Service Manager independent of the technician who performed the work to ensure operational readiness. Relevant Experience Fire Apparatus Solutions has proudly supported the City of Rialto Fire Department for more than thirteen years, providing maintenance, inspections, repairs, emergency service, and apparatus support. In addition to apparatus maintenance, our Diamondback Fire & Rescue division supplies specialized firefighting equipment, while our apparatus sales team has successfully delivered multiple new fire apparatus to the City.
