Asst. Chief Johnson: The firemen were hoping the specs would have, came in under $400,00 but they didn’t. They went through all the specs from all the manufacturers and allowed them to bid both aluminum and stainless steel. Two of the bidders were slightly out of compliance. No major issues and nothing they could not have worked with. Two bidders were right on target with what they were looking for and had asked for. It basically came down to the fact that they felt they needed to go with the lower of the two prices. They decided to go with R&R and felt the quality was the same with them. This would be for the aluminum truck at $442,858 and if the Chassis is paid ahead of time the price would be $435,749. Within their specs they had some recommendations from the service end of it. A few items that would make servicing the truck a little easier and more cost effective down the road. Down the road the firemen would need to talk to the board about adding some of these items that may amount to less than $5,000.
Trustee Campbell questions the warranty differences, the differing service locations and would they come with lettering. Clerk Gute questioned if there was a difference in the time frame as to when the trucks would be completed and if R&R was the consensus choice of the firemen. Trustee Schultz questions if this truck would be a poly tank and if R&R built their own Chassis.
Moved Trustee Schultz, Second Treasurer Cudney to accept the firemen’s recommendation and authorize the purchase of the aluminum body fire truck from R&R Fire Truck and; to include the $5,000 extras at a total price not to exceed $442,858. Discussion: Trustee Krajcovic questions whether the firemen had considered enough the 10yr opposed to the 20yr guarantee on the body. Clerk Gute questions if the engines are the same. Roll Call: Supervisor Miller-Yes, Trustee Archer-Yes, Trustee Campbell-Yes, Trustee Schultz-Yes, Trustee Krajcovic-Yes, Clerk Gute-Yes, Treasurer Cudney-Yes.
