BACKGROUND During the month of February in the year 1989, the City Commission passed resolution 89-425 allowing the purchase of eight (8) advanced life support vehicles for the Department of Fire Rescue. Shortly after receiving these vehicles, numerous transmission failures began to occur. Attempts to resolve these failures locally proved fruitless and the Ford Motor Company in Livonia, Michigan was contacted for assistance. The Ford Motor Company and the Department of Fire Rescue reached a joint agreement whereby one of our vehicles (Rescue 7) could be used for testing and research at the Ford facility in Michigan. In return, Ford purchased a replacement vehicle for the Fire Department at no cost to the City of Miami. Also in this agreement was a stipulation stating that the Department of Fire Rescue would have the first opportunity to "buy back" Rescue 7 from Ford upon completion of the testing. The test program is now complete and the transmission problems have been resolved. The Department of Fire Rescue is desirous of obtaining this vehicle and have identified the source of funding and is respectfully requesting approval from the Commission.
