It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution

BACKGROUND:
Simon Ladder Tower, Inc., was the original equipment manufacturer for this equipment,
and did the work under the terms of an existing contract. This vehicle had an electrical
shortage to the aerial device, so only intermittent power to the ladder existed. As a result,
Quint 4 was rendered inoperable. This front-line equipment is essential in providing
adequate levels of Fire -Rescue protection for the City of Miami. Therefore, repairs were
necessary to return this front4ine vehicle to service.
