<br />WS – Item 1 <br /> <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 1 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: March 27, 2023 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br /> <br />Re: Repair of Aerial 1 (Vehicle # 622) <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />During the annual maintenance and inspection of Aerial 1 a hydraulic leak was found in <br />hydraulic swivel. This part is vital to the proper and safe operation of aerial device <br />functionality. <br /> <br />Emergency Apparatus Maintenance (EAM) has prepared the attached estimate for the <br />needed repair based on other repairs that EAM has completed for other fire departments. <br />The total repair is estimated to be $39,942.50. <br /> <br />Aerial 1 is 2004 E-One Bronto that the Fire Division purchased used from Mdewakanton <br />Fire Department in 2017. Aerial 1 is the only aerial apparatus in the Fire Division fleet. <br /> <br />Aerial 1 is not slotted for replacement in current 5 year replacement plan. Staff would <br />anticipate that replacement of Aerial 1 would be in 2034 but this replacement may have <br />to be moved up if repair costs are high. <br /> <br />The costs to purchase a new aerial with similar functionality this year would be <br />approximately $2.2 million. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending that we repair Aerial 1. <br /> <br />Staff is seeking Council direction. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Emergency Apparatus Maintenance estimate 3.22.2023 <br /> <br /> <br />
