DEPARTMENT: FIRE DEPARTMENT
FROM: SAMUEL KLEMEK, FIRE CHIEF
TITLE: SALE OF SURPLUS AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution authorizing the sale of one surplus aerial firefighting apparatus to the City of Hollister for the sum of $500.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Salinas Fire Department has one (1) aerial fire apparatus previously surplused that no longer meets the needs of the department and is available for donation/sale. The Salinas Fire Department is recommending the sale of a 1988 Simon Duplex aerial fire apparatus previously used by the Salinas Fire Department for training purposes and is no longer needed.
BACKGROUND:
The vehicle is a 1988 Simon Duplex 100’aerial tractor/tiller apparatus that was purchased in used condition from the City of Santa Ana, CA over 10 years ago. This equipment was used to train SFD operators in the use of this apparatus prior to the acquisition of its first tractor/tiller apparatus in 2013 and it’s second tiller unit in 2015.
Resolution No. 21831 authorized the surplus of miscellaneous firefighting tools and equipment, vehicle accessories, and firefighting personal protective equipment (PPE) that are beyond useful life or no longer supported by the manufacturer for parts or repair. The Salinas Fire Department is seeking authorization to sell this unit to the Hollister Fire Department for training purposes as they await the construction and delivery of their own tractor/tiller apparatus.
Over the last 7 years, the SFD has not relied on this equipment for training as it utilizes its’ two current tractor/tiller apparatus for ongoing training and skills maintenance. The department has placed the unit in storage but has incurred recent maintenance costs of $500 to keep the unit roadworthy and operable. The proposed sales price remunerates the SFD for those recent expenditures and affords a local public safety partner in our region to realize a useful benefit.
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES:
No
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
This resolution supports the Council’s strategic plan initiative of Effective and Sustainable Government.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
The Fire Department will work with the Public Works Fleet Maintenance division to ensure all SFD’s proprietary property and identification is removed prior to the transfer. The SFD will work with the Finance Department on completion of all necessary transfer and liability documentation.
