ENCLOSURES:
The Department of Fire Rescue is respectfully requesting that Braun Custom
Ambulances becomes the sole source remount vendor for our Department.
Rernounting is the process in which a module already owned by the City is removed,
refurbished, upgraded and remounted onto new cab and chassis. This process
produces a truck that is tike new and savings around 50% over the purchase of a new
unit.
The Department of Fire Rescue has been exclusively purchasing Braun ambulances
since 2013 and has had excellent success with this brand. Although there are other
companies that can remount a Braun module onto a new Cab and chassis, only Braun
can continue the original factory life time warranty of the module. Braun Ambulances
also has exclusive rights over all programing files and electrical diagrams used to
produce the truck.
Ten-8 is the authorized State of Florida dealer for Braun Custom Ambulances.
