AGENDA ITEM <br />Prepared By: JVE Reviewed By: Approved By: <br />1.Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to purchase a new brush medical <br />response utility. <br />2.Background. Council gave staff direction to obtain quotes for a new brush medical response utility. <br />We are looking at new because this vehicle is used the most out of any of the response vehicles in the fire <br />department fleet. This vehicle will be used by the Duty Crew while on duty for normal work items and to <br />respond to medicals and brush or grass fires. It will also be used for help with traffic on a roadway <br />incident or for a wash down. As the Long Lake Fire Chief, I presented this to Orono’s Council at the <br />June 13, 2022 meeting and we tabled it. This spring I had the vendors update their quotes and the City of <br />Long Lake used this spec to purchase one of these vehicles. <br />3.Equipment Description. The brush medial response utility is a multipurpose response vehicle based <br />on a pickup chassis. In particular the vehicle provides the department with medical and brush fire <br />response capabilities. As presented in 2022, this vehicle is the most utilized for response to emergency <br />calls. <br />4.Cost. The city received 2 quotes listed in the table below. The recommended proposal is for <br />$225,259 from Fire Safety USA and Outfitting costs of $130,000 for a total of $355,259. <br />Proposal Company Cost Total Cost <br />w/Outfitting <br />Delivery <br />Fire Safety USA CET $225,259 $355,259 12-16 months <br />MacQueen Skeeter $357,159 $482,159 28 months <br />Outfitting of <br />Brush/Medical Response <br />Utility <br />Various $130,000 NA Varies <br />5.Funding.
