<br />The primary source of funding for the Fire Capital Fund is a property tax levy of $130,000.00 per
<br />year, and donations received from LCFD are included in this fund. LCFD has donated $679,108.28 to
<br />this fund in the past five years, plus (if approved) LCFD plans to donate $356,181 for 25% of the
<br />down payment of the new fire engine.
<br />
<br />The truck will be purchased through Sourcewell Consortium Pricing. Sourcewell follows the
<br />competitive contracting law process to solicit, evaluate, and award cooperative purchasing contracts
<br />for goods and services. This process is within the guidelines of our Purchasing Policy.
<br />
<br />There are different payment options offered in the proposal, and staff recommends utilizing the 50%
<br />Prepayment Option. This option involves prepaying $712,360 at contract execution and $619,280 due
<br />before the vehicle is released from the Pierce Manufacturing Plant in Appleton, Wisconsin.
<br />
<br />Summary of costs:
<br />New Pierce Velocity Engine $1,424,721.00
<br />Interest credit for 50% prepayment at the time of contract signing $ - 93,081
