<br />Fiscal summary statement:
<br />The award amount for three triple combination pumper trucks is $3,883,740.04, including
<br />tax. This is about $1,294,580 per truck. The Purchase Agreement authorizes the Mayor sign
<br />amendments to the Purchase Agreement to increase this total amount up to $4,000,000,
<br />including tax. These amendments would be to account for unforeseen changes, such as
<br />structural/drawings conflicts found during construction. Any amendment that increases the
<br />total above $4,000,000 would come to City Council for approval. The Triple Combination
<br />Pumper trucks are budgeted in the vehicle replacement fund, one each in 2025, 2026, and
<br />2027. However, the expense will not be realized until 2028 due to build time.
<br />Project summary statement:
<br />Proposals were requested from fire truck manufacturers to provide up to three triple
<br />combination Type 1 fire engines, which will replace J0070, J0076, and J0078, which are 2003,
<br />2005, and 2007 American LaFrance Type 1 fire engines, respectively.
<br />The City of Everett Fire Department has a total of eleven (11) fire engines, six (6) six of which
<br />are in service 24/7, and five (5) are held in reserve to fill in for breakdowns, maintenance,
<br />and training. There is always one fire engine at every Everett fire station. All engines are
<br />equipped with a fire pump, a 500-gallon water tank, a foam system, a monitor, and a large
<br />complement of fire hoses for fire attack, exposure protection, and water supply. Engines also
<br />carry ground ladders, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), forcible entry and
<br />extrication tools, first aid equipment, a variety of hose appliances, and assorted other
<br />equipment and tools. The crew of an engine company usually consists of an officer, a
<br />driver/engineer, and a firefighter.
<br />The Request for Proposal was released on August 18, 2023. It was advertised in the Everett
<br />Herald. Additionally, seven companies were directly notified about the opportunity. On
<br />October 31, 2023, two proposals were received. Staff is requesting an award to Hughes Fire
<br />Equipment.
