BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
After approval in the 2001 Capital Budget, staff proceeded to send out a Request for
Proposals to replace a 1979 pumper truck. Part of the proposal was the trade in of the
1979 pumper truck.
The successful bidder, Advance Engineered Products Ltd., provided a discount in their
proposal for the estimated trade-in value but informed staff they were not interested in
the vehicle. Staff is now left to dispose of the vehicle.
Durham College has expressed an interest in the vehicle to assist in their Fire
Technology Program, and have offered to purchase it. Staff is requesting an opportunity
to proceed with discussions with Durham College for the vehicle. Staff estimates the
value of the vehicle at $3,500, being the same price offered as a discount by Advance
Engineered Products Ltd.
There are, in staff's opinion, two options to dispose of the vehicle. Firstly, donating it to
Durham College, since Ontario Power Generation, Darlington Nuclear Generating
Station, originally donated the truck to the Municipality when they no longer needed it.
Clarington refurbished the vehicle and utilized it at Station #5, Enniskillen until a
replacement was approved in 2001.
Secondly, sell the vehicle for the estimated value to Durham College or any other
interested party, if any exist.
Staff's preference would be to donate the vehicle to Durham College, as it will assist the
College in providing a better opportunity to the students for hands on experience.
