The City of Yakima desires to purchase off Sourcewell contract #113021-RVG-3 to procure a new fire apparatus from Cascade Fire Equipment, Inc. Cascade Fire Equipment, Inc., agrees to deliver apparatus pursuant to the Sourcewell contract under the terms and conditions found in that agreement and the purchase agreement and proposal submitted to the City by Cascade Fire Equipment, Inc.
The Scope of Work and Budget included in this agreement meet the needs and requirements of the City of Yakima for this purchase.
The amount of this purchase, as outlined in the attached proposal, is $1,288,763.50. The estimated build time is 820 days from receipt of order. Payment is due upon delivery and acceptance.
We are piggy-backing on a purchasing agreement from an agency in Minnesota using Sourcewell. This agreement is being used because the purchase price has already been vetted through a competitive bid process. Piggy-backing on this agreement is a common practice in procurement and prevents months of added time and cost of going out to bid each time.
Upon delivery, the fourth fire engine will be put in service at station 93; the second busiest station in the city. Engine 93 will be re-numbered and placed as a reserve engine for five more years. E-92 is a 2008 and has started having some issues that dependent upon the severity, may or may not be fiscally responsible to repair. If we move forward with repairing E-92’s diesel engine, it will be placed in a reserve status. Reserve E-292 is 19 years old and is anticipated to be declared surplus and potentially sold to our Sister City Morelia. E-292 needs significant pump and valve repairs but parts for this engine have become obsolete are no longer readily available; the inability to make these repairs prevent it from being a reliable reserve engine.
