It is the oldest of the city's three fire <br /> trucks and is dedicated almost exclusively to rescue runs. It is the second vehicle out <br /> on a rescue call and is especially useful in car accidents because it has the extraction <br /> equipment and a water tank to clean up the scene. By making this fire truck <br /> dedicated to rescue, the equipment on the truck is primarily rescue equipment which <br /> cannot be consolidated onto one of the other trucks. The other two trucks are <br /> equipped for fire purposes with some rescue capability. Since the city has several <br /> rescue calls a year, 110 as of July 24, 1994, this year and many are related to <br /> accidents on major roadways like Snelling and Highway 280 it is crucial that the truck <br /> be operable. <br /> In order to get the best price for the repair of the generator, transmission and water <br /> tank the public works staff and firefighters worked together on this project. As of this <br /> writing the repair costs are still being finalized, but the two proposed preliminary <br /> estimates appear to be between $3,000 and $4,000. <br /> Staff recommends approving expenditures not to exceed $4,000 for repairs. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Authorize the expenditure of approximately $4,000 for repairing the generator, <br /> transmission and water tank of 757. <br /> N ;EN' <?IECOI BENT <::O Tiii i!ili I IMii ENT <br />
