Board authorizes up to $250,000 purchase order to repair damaged 2019 Pierce pumper
Summary
The board approved a purchase order not to exceed $250,000 to Siddons Martin Emergency Group to repair a 2019 Pierce Quantum Type 1 pumper (unit 0117) following an accident; insurance proceeds will fund the repairs.
The Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District board on Oct. 7, 2025 authorized a purchase order to Siddons Martin Emergency Group, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to repair a 2019 Pierce Quantum Type 1 pumper (unit 0117). Chief Edwards explained the apparatus sustained significant damage in a vehicle accident last winter; the insurer issued payments and the vendor discovered additional damage after removing body components, increasing the repair estimate. Siddons Martin was identified as a specialty repair shop for Pierce apparatus and the board approved the work under NRS 332.115C (specialty vendor/procurement exception).
The motion to approve was moved by Commissioner Marlous Garcia and seconded by Commissioner Claire Andreola; the vote was unanimous. The clerk recorded that there was no public comment on the item.
Ending: Logistics staff will issue the purchase order and oversee repairs; procurement records will reconcile insurance proceeds and invoices.
