The evaluation will determine the following: <br />1. Should the vehicle be replaced at the scheduled date? <br />2. Could the vehicle be refurbished to prolong its useful life? <br />3. Is the vehicle in such a condition that the replacement date could be extended <br /> without being refurbished? <br />4. Is the vehicle in such a condition that the replacement date needs to be moved up? <br /> <br /> For the grass rig/pickup the evaluation above will apply, but the committee will be formed at the 10 year <br />mark. <br /> <br /> The committee will be reconvened 2 years prior to the estimated replacement date (unless the original <br />committee meeting date fell into this date range) to again evaluate the above mentioned criteria. <br /> <br /> The committee report will be forwarded to the Board of Directors for their review and action. <br /> <br /> ** Estimated replacement cost – For all vehicles except the grass rigs/pickups the cost is an estimate <br />using a 6 % increase per year, based on the vehicle’s original purchase price. For the grass rigs/pickups the <br />cost was calculated using a 3 % increase per year. The 6 % is a rough standard used by the fire truck <br />industry. The 6 % increase should account for annual inflation, technological advances, and mandates <br />imposed by the National Fire Protection Association. <br />5
