The Lansing City Council voted unanimously to approve the purchase of a slide‑in firefighting unit for vehicle 568 for $19,949, the council said. Installation at the vendor’s facility is included in the quoted price.

The unit was budgeted in the city’s 2025 budget, and the cost will be split evenly between the City of Lansing and Delaware Township, the council was told. Two bids were received; the winning bid was listed at $19,949 and a second bid was listed in the meeting record as "Danco Fire for $21.35," a figure that appears truncated in the transcript record.

“Originally, when we talked about this, I told under 20 and we come in just under 20,” Chief Gates said during the council discussion. Gates also explained the slide‑in design allows the equipment to be removed and bolted into a replacement truck, avoiding the need to purchase a new integrated unit when the chassis is replaced.

Council President called the roll after a motion and second; the vote recorded “yes” from all members present and the motion passed. No amendments or follow‑up tasks were assigned at the meeting.

The purchase authorizes the city to move forward with the vendor named in the motion and to schedule installation. The council did not discuss additional specifications beyond interchangeability of the unit for future chassis replacements.
