The Simon Duplex Aerial Ladder was purchased in 1994 for the Shakopee Fire

it they found the problem to be to extensive to do in house.
The price of the part is $8,000 to rebuild the current part (a 26 Ring Shivel) or purchase
new for $13,000. The labor was bid by two companies Clarey's Safety Equipment for
$2,100.00 and by Emergency Apparatus Maintenance for $4,000.
Relationship to Visioning:
This represents F of the Shakopee Visioning Goals
Recommendation:
The recommendation of the Shakopee Fire Department is to replace with a Tebuilt schivel
for $8,000 and go with the lower bidder Clarey's Safety Equipment for the labor.
Action Requested:
If council concurs it should by motion approve the total of $8,000.00 for the Shivel and
$2,100.00 for the labor to remove and replace the Shivel for the 1994 Aerial Ladder
Truck. The money will be taken from the Fire Budget 2006 maintenance line.
