It is recommended that a resolution be passed
authorizing the purchase of six Fire Appparatus

County Contract with Pierce Manufacturina
Company at a total cost of 818 706.00.
The Department of Fire has requested the purchase of six Fire Appa-
ratus (1250 gpm pumpers).
There is presently a Metropolitan Dade County Contract with Pierce
Manufacturing Company to furnish these units of Fire Apparatus
based on specifications which were developed jointly by Metro Dade
County and City of Miami Fire Department personnel.
The contract is based on the purchase from Pierce Manufacturing
Company of 16 units (10 for Dade County and 6 for the City of Miami),
with specified "Mandatory" equipment, at a unit price of $161,428.00
each. Equipment changes to conform to City of Miami requirements
result in a net reduction in cost per unit of $14,977.00, for a
total savings for the 6 units is $89,862.00.
These new units will replace existing pumpers as follows:
Hose No. 8
Engine No. 8

Rescue Facilities Bond Fund.
The Department of Fire concures with this recommendation.
