HomeMy WebLinkAbout#08 - Rescue Boat STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 7, 2023
CONSENT
TO: City Council
FROM: Dustin Kalis, Fire Chief
AGENDA ITEM: Purchase CIP Project F-014 Rescue Boat Replacement
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
The Fire Department is requesting to purchase one water rescue boat and necessary rescue
equipment as part of the department’s vehicle replacement program. The 2023-2027 Capital
Improvement Plan included the replacement of the rescue boat in 2023.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the City Council approve the purchase of the rescue boat as outlined in the 2023 Capital
Improvement Plan?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Proceeding with this purchase will benefit the city and its citizens with an updated rescue boat
and equipment that is designed for water emergency response. The department is requesting to
purchase a 2023 Zodiac Mark 3 GR (15’ 5”) with a Mercury 50 hp motor and trailer. The
replacement boat will be similar in design and construction of our current boat, while allowing
for additional capacity and functionality. The inflatable boat allows additional maneuverability
and access to our many bodies of water within Lake Elmo.
The fire department replaces vehicles on a rotating basis based on each individual vehicles need.
The rescue boat will be utilized by Fire Department staff to respond to water emergency
incidents. These funds will be utilized to replace the rescue boat in a timely manner to reduce
maintenance costs and down time. The current boat was purchased in 2007 with an expected
service life of 12 years. Repairs were made in 2021 to extend the service life. The new rescue
boat is expected to be in service for 12 years following the city’s vehicle and equipment
replacement schedule.
Additional personal floatation devices, rescue suits, ropes and tools will also be purchased to
replace worn and damaged rescue equipment no longer serviceable as most of the equipment was
purchased with the 2007 purchase.
The light bar and emergency lighting from the current boat will be reinstalled on the new boat.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The budget for the boat, motor trailer and necessary replacement equipment is $35,000 and will
be funded through the vehicle replacement fund as identified in the 2023 CIP. This purchase is
in compliance with the City of Lake Elmo Purchasing Policy.
