Refurbishing of Aerial
Dept. of Fire -Rescue
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
refurbishment of one (1) existing 100 foot aerial truck by Simon Ladder Towers, Inc., a non -local, non -
minority vendor, located at 65 Cacalico Creek Road, Ephrata, Pennsylvania, under the same price, terms,
and conditions as incorporated in. the contract authorized by Resolution 97-458. The proposed amount is
$404,099.00, and a $10,000.00 contingency fund for a total amount not to exceed $414,099.00. Funds
for this project are available from the CIP Project entitled "Fire -Rescue New Apparatus Acquisition"
(Project 313233) Account Code No. 289401.840.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Fire -Rescue has a need to refurbish an additional aerial truck to provide appropriate
levels of fire protection to the community. The truck that is proposed for refurbishment was
manufactured by Simon Ladder Towers, Inc., in 1978. The refurbished vehicle will replace an existing
front-line vehicle that is twenty years old. Older vehicles are extremely expensive to maintain and are not
as reliable as new vehicles. The refurbished vehicle will return with a new title and will include a
completely new cab and body with a new engine and transmission.
Resolution No. 97-458 authorized the execution of a contract with Simon Ladder Towers, Inc. to
refurbish aerial trucks. These additional services will be acquired under the same price, terms, and
conditions as incorporated in the contract authorized by said resolution.
It is noted that the cost of a new 85 foot aerial platform with a pump is approximately $550,000.00. The
refurbishment of the Department of Fire -Rescue's existing aerial will cost $404,099.00. The cost savings
is $145,901.00. This expenditure is included in the City of Miami's Five Year Plan.
