Manufacturers of the 3 main components of fire trucks (engine, <br />drive train, pump) are guaranteeing replacement parts for 20 years from the date of <br />manufacture. Many parts may still be available past 20 years, but the fire department <br />feels that an approximate 20 year replacement schedule should be used to insure a <br />dependable fleet to meet the future fire protection needs of the City. 1 year was added to <br />trucks numbered 15 and 17 to create a larger span to ease budgeting problems between <br />those and truck #14 in 2012, <br />The scheduled replacement date will cause a committee to be activated approximately 2 <br />years prior to that date to begin the planning process for design and specifications of the <br />new vehicle, <br />** Estimated replacement cost - This cost is an estimate using a 6 % increase per year, <br />based on the vehicle's original purchase price. The 6 % is a rough standard used by the <br />fire truck industry. The 6 % increase should account for annual inflation, technological <br />advances, and mandates imposed by the National Fire Protection Association. <br />* ** This figure was originally $350,000, In November of 2003 we received an estimated <br />cost of $ 375,000 to replace this pumper. We took that figure and calculated a 6% <br />increase for the next 3 years. <br />XXX — This vehicle is basically a pickup truck with some fire related modifications. It <br />was calculated with a 10 year replacement using 3% inflation. <br />10 <br />
