Home My WebLink About5I - Aerial Truck Repairs ,,~ ATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: ISSUES: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT January 21, 2003 51 Frank Boyles, City Manager CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AN EXPENDITURE FROM CONTINGENCY FOR REPAIRS TO AERIAL LADDER TRUCK. History: In 1986, the City Council acquired an aerial ladder truck. The City's equipment matrix does not call for replacement of this equipment until 2006. The aerial serves three essential purposes. It allows firefighters to access building locations which would otherwise be unreachable. The aerial provides a means of evacuating victims. Finally, the aerial allows the application of water and chemicals to structural fires. At a recent fire, the Chief noted that the aerial was not functioning properly. The pump output was restricted and control of the ladder was not as expected. As a result, the truck was taken to Emergency Apparatus Maintenance for evaluation. Current Circumstances: Attached is the evaluation conducted by Emergency Apparatus Maintenance, The needed repairs fall into the following categories: Pressure Water Governor $3950 Miscellaneous Lights $1400 Ladder Rung Section $1000 Ladder - Outrigger Extension $600 Main Controls $1000 Pump Rebuild $10,000 TOTAL $17,950 These are estimates as it is impossible to determine the type, number and cost of parts required until the repairs are actually performed. Conclusion: Repairs of this magnitude are not contemplated either in the equipment repair budget, or the equipment matrix. The staff is therefore suggesting that funds for this expenditure be drawn from the Contingency account. The aerial ladder is not slated to be replaced in the near future. Until it is replaced, it is an indispensable piece of firefighting equipment. Given the number of multi- family buildings, townhomes and top-end single family houses being built in the City, the aerial is an important piece of firefighting equipment. Emergency Apparatus Maintenance is the only vendor in the metropolitan area who will perform work on aerial ladders given liability concerns.
