SU9JEc- Resolution for Procurement of
Replacement Parts for aerial
Ladder
REFERENCES!
ENCLOSURES.
It is recommended that a resolution be
passed, waiving the requirement for
formal sealed bids, authorizing the
procurement of Replacement Parts for a
1959 model aerial Ladder, from the only
reasonable source of supply, American
La France, at a total proposed cost of
$14,001.66.
Replacement parts are required to complete the refurbishing of Fire
Accaratus 10 (No. N-424) begun earlier this year. Parts will be used
to repair the 1959 model American La France 100 ft. aerial Ladder on
this apparatus, and consist of main turntable bearing assembly, lift
cylinder, slides and rollers, which were unavailable at the start of
work, due to the age of the original equipment.
Compatible replacement parts are now available only from the original
equipment manufacturer, American La France. The manufacturer has
indicated that these parts would be modified and produced according
to their specifications to fit this City equipment and blueprints and
other pertinent data could not be made available for competitive
bidding, in order to maintain rigid safety standards and equipment
integrity.
Procurement of these aerial parts will allow the apparatus refurbish-
ment to be completed, bringing it up to current standards and would
enhance the vehicle life, for the protection of the equipment operators
and citizens of Miami.
Funds for t is purchase are available in the 1983 Fire Apparatus yc-
zuisition Replacement and :Modification rro4ect Fund.
