Re: Approve to allow posting for bids for the replacement of the 1986 Heavy Rescue with a
Medium Rescue.
Introduction:
The Shakopee Fire Department requests at this time to recommend City Council to approve to post for
bids for the replacement of the 1986 Heavy Rescue with a Medium Rescue. The request to move this
replacement to 2005 is in accordance with City Councils request to try and save money by replacing
before first of year instead of waiting until 2006.
Background:
The Heavy Rescue truck was purchased in 1986 as a command vehicle and heavy equipment hauler and
to run our special equipment. With the purchase of a medium rescue to be delivered this year the truck
will allow our dive equipment to be moved to this vehicle along with medical and the next medium
rescue we are bidding will carry medical and high level equipment for our special teams. Also if we
approve to go to bids and grant the truck building before January 1,2006 we will save the city a
minimum of $20,000.
Action Requested:
