515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMO <br />TO: Mayor Hanson and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: June 17, 1994 <br />RE: Fire Truck Purchase <br />MAYOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Enclosed is a copy of the bids received as well as a summary of <br />the pros and cons associated with the purchase of a new fire <br />truck. The Fire Department is unanimously recommending the <br />purchase of the Pierce truck. Based on the Fire Department's <br />recommendation, I would advise that we authorize the purchase of <br />the truck taking advantage of the discount option by making <br />payment in full at the time of order contingent upon agreement as <br />to the specific delivery date with a penalty provision. This <br />penalty should be applied if the delivery date is exceeded which <br />would reduce the discounting impact. <br />It is important to note that the City would be paying the full <br />purchase price at this time, with the Fire Department reimbursing <br />the City for any amount over $250,000. Relative to the question <br />of who would have title to the truck, it would be my <br />recommendation that we resolve this matter in the renewal of the <br />Fire Department's contract. That document should be available by <br />the end of July. <br />Tom DuCharme from the Fire Department will be present at <br />Wednesday's meeting to answer any questions regarding the <br />specifics of the truck purchase. Should you have any other <br />comments or questions regarding this matter, please let me know. <br />JH:bj <br />Page 16 <br />
