BACKGROUND AND COMMENT
1.0 Background
As approved in the 2005 Emergency Services Capital Budget, Hurst Extrication
Equipment is to be purchased and installed on one Emergency Services Vehicle. The
Emergency Services Department would like to utilize the Provincial grant to purchase a
second set of equipment to equip a second vehicle.
Hurst Extrication Equipment is what is currently being utilized by the Emergency
Services department. It is beneficial to keep this type of equipment standard so that no
matter what operator or truck is on an emergency scene everyone knows how to use
the equipment properly. Standardization is also important with this type of equipment to
allow for parts to be interchangeable among trucks.
As Code 4 Fire & Rescue is the only Ontario distributor for Hurst Equipment, it is
recommended that the requirement for tendering in accordance with Purchasing By-law
#94-129, Paragraph 5, Item 5.6 be waived and that a purchase order be issued in the
amount of $66,435.00.
The Provincial Government provided to the Municipality a one time grant in the amount
of $178,000. This money was to be utilized by Municipal Fire Services in the areas of
fire prevention/training, fire operations equipment and firefighter protective equipment
.
The required funds will be drawn from account #110-28-281-82828-7401 with
$35,000.00 from the approved 2005 Emergency Services Capital Budget and the
additional $31,435.00 will be drawn from the Provincial grant .
