The Yakima Air Terminal-McAllister Field, in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), have identified the need to replace the airport’s primary Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting apparatus in order to meet Federal safety standards.  On August 19, 2019, the airport publicly advertised the need for such equipment and received three bids from contractors.  Upon careful review of all bids, it was recommended the City enter into an agreement with Oshkosh Airport Products, LLC in the amount of $760,898.11 to construct and deliver the required fire apparatus.  

Ninety percent of the funding for this project is provided by the FAA in the form of a grant and the remaining ten percent through the airport's Passenger Facility Charge program. 

This acquisition will not impact the City's 2020 general fund or reserves.
