INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
DATE MAY - 4 1995 f"`
SUBJECT :
Resolution Authorizing
REFERENCES: Purchase of Rescue Vehicles
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
Department of Fire -Rescue to purchase ten (10) new Rescue Vehicles from Southern Ambulance, a non -
local vendor, using an existing City of Jacksonville, Florida bid # SC-0540.93 at a proposed cost of
$1.000,000.
Backaround
In 1994, Miami Fire -Rescue units responded to 68,000 calls for help. Of this number 57,000 were
requests for emergency medical services, most of which are provided by Rescue Vehicles. The failure of
the Fire -Rescue Bond program has caused a dramatic increase in the age and mileage of these vehicles,
with a corresponding decrease In reliability. Additionally, the current inventory of Rescue Vehicles is
Insufficient to meet the terms of Article 44 of the recently approved Collective Bargaining Agreement with
Local 587, effective October 1, 1995. This interim solution will allow the Department of Fire -Rescue to
meet the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The subject vehicles can be obtained off of an
existing contract for a price below the current market rate. Moreover, a substantial reduction in delivery
time can be expected. The Department of Fire -Rescue proposes to purchase these vehicles as a
means of supplanting the Rescue Fleet to meet the terms of the contract. It Is recommended the
purchase be approved subject to the Director of Finance identifying the appropriate source of funding.
