This filling station is an integral part of our operation, and the current one has been <br />serving us for over 25 years. We have received quotes from three different vendors and explored different <br />options to obtain the best value for the City of Hugo. We will work with a third-party vendor to evaluate the resale <br />value and sale of our current SCBA fill station and bottles. <br /> <br /> <br />We have reviewed quotes from the three different vendors and would like to move forward in approving this <br />purchase from MacQueen. MacQueen provided us with the best value quote that will fit the needs of the fire <br />department for many years. <br /> <br />MacQueen <br /> Complete SCBA Fill Station including equipment, bottles, delivery, and insulation. <br />$61,262.00 <br />Electrician <br /> Upgrades to wiring for three phase power from electrical panel to SCBA fill station. <br />Approximately $1,500.00 <br />o Total expected project price of approximately $62,762.00 <br /> <br />I have discussed these results with the Finance Director, who has indicated that sufficient funding has been <br />budgeted in the building maintenance fund for the contracted work. To keep functional and reliable equipment <br />within the fire station, it is my recommendation that we move forward with this project as proposed. <br /> <br />Please place this on the September 15, 2025, City Council agenda for consideration. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City of Hugo Fire Department <br />5323 140th Street North <br />Hugo, Minnesota 55038 <br />PH: (651) 762-6362 FAX: (651) 429-3212
