ONE VISION. ONE MISSION. LINO LAKES PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Lino Lakes Public <br />Safety Department <br />Memo <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: January 19, 2024 <br />TO: John Swenson, Public Safety Director <br />FROM: Dan L’Allier, Deputy Public Safety Director – Fire Division <br />RE: Waterway replacement Aerial 1 <br />I received the attached estimate from Emergency Apparatus Maintenance for the replacement of <br />the waterway on Aerial 1. Lance Olson stated he has received two estimates. The first was from <br />US Fire Safety, the E-One Dealer here in Minnesota. Aerial 1 is an E-One/Bronto. The estimate <br />from them is for ordering a new waterway from Bronto in Finland. The cost of this waterway <br />would be $72,000. To crate the waterway would be an additional $1,750.00. This cost does not <br />include shipping from Finland to Minnesota. The lead time to order this waterway would be an <br />estimated 22 weeks from order. There would be an additional cost of $11,250.00 for EAM for <br />labor to remove the old waterway and install the new waterway. The estimated cost to order from <br />US Fire Safety would be $85,000.00. This estimate does not include freight from Finland; this <br />would be considered a special order and would require a prepayment. The warranty for the <br />waterway would consist of 12 months, this does not include any wear items like seals. <br />The second estimate that EAM received was from Rosenbauer Aerials of Fremont, Nebraska. <br />The waterway would be removed from Aerial 1, then crated and shipped to Rosenbauer in <br />Fremont, Nebraska. There it would be used as a pattern to build a new waterway. After <br />completion, the new waterway would be crated and shipped back to EAM to be installed in <br />Aerial 1. The lead time on this option is 20 weeks from Rosenbauer receiving our old waterway <br />in Fremont, Nebraska. The warranty on this option would be 12 months, not to include wear <br />parts like seals. The total cost of this option including parts, labor and shipping is $59,000.00. <br />I have researched the cost of used 2004 – 2006 E-one/ Bronto’s and they are selling for $195,000 <br />to $395,000 this is in line with what we purchased the truck for in 2016. To currently replace this <br />truck, it is a three year wait at a cost of $2,200,000. <br />It would be my recommendation to move forward with using EAM and Rosenbauer Aerial to <br />construct a replacement waterway for Aerial 1. <br /> <br />4
