The levy provided funding for critically needed EMS equipment. <br /> The Fire Department requires two 2019 North Star 171-3 Ambulances.The new units are available from competitively <br /> bid Marysville Fire District contract with Braun Northwest Inc. The City has an interlocal cooperative purchasing <br /> agreement with Marysville Fire District that allows us to make purchases from their competitively awarded contracts <br /> in lieu of soliciting bids on our own. One new ambulance will replace a 2005 unit(V0155)that has exceeded its <br /> __--lifeeyele,o 50;000-miles:T-hseeond ambulanee-will=be an=expansion ofthe-ambulanee=fleet from-seven-units-to <br /> eight. <br /> Historically the Fire Department has deployed three paramedic units and one aid unit daily.This fleet model has four <br /> primary ambulances backed up by three units in reserve,to allow for vehicle rotations through routine service and <br /> mechanical breakdowns with no gap in response readiness.With the settlement of the 2018-2019 collective bargaining <br /> agreement,the department now deploys three paramedic units and two aid units daily.This increase of daily <br /> ambulance vehicles has taxed the Fire Department's ability to service the fleet by both increasing departmental <br /> ambulance hours/miles while concurrently reducing the number of available reserve units.An expansion of one unit <br /> will provide the needed number of vehicles to provide response readiness while allowing for routine service and <br /> typical fleet mechanical problems. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize purchase of two Ambulances from Braun Northwest Inc utilizing Marysville Fire Contract in the <br /> amount of$403,688.64,including Washington state sales and motor vehicle excise taxes. <br /> 47 <br />
