Body

SUMMARY: 

This ambulance will be purchased through the Florida Sheriff’s Association & Florida Association of Counties Bid FSA18 - VEF13.0, effective through March 31, 2020.

The new vehicle, Rescue 48, will be located at the 1700 N. Belcher Road station and replace unit G#4318 purchased in 2016. The unit it replaces will move to reserve status and replace a unit G# 3218, which will be retired.  Due to the age, mileage, and maintenance costs of this vehicle, it has been determined to have reached the end of its useful life as a front-line rescue unit.

Clearwater Fire and Rescue performs emergency medical services (EMS) under a contract with the Pinellas County EMS Authority. The proposed purchase was included in the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 contract with the Authority and the budget submitted to Pinellas County; the City will be reimbursed for the purchase.  Lease purchase funding was included in the six-year City’s Capital Improvement 2018 budget in project 91236, Rescue Vehicles.   

Annual operating costs are included in the department’s operating budget for operating and maintaining the vehicle. Garage charges on the new vehicle are expected to be less than the vehicle being retired.

 

APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:

Funds are available in capital project 91236, Rescue Vehicle to fund this contract.

 

USE OF RESERVE FUNDS:  N/A
