Board approves $910,058 purchase of 2027 Rosenbauer pumper to replace Engine 5
Summary
The Kokomo Board of Public Works and Safety approved purchase of a 2027 Rosenbauer pumper, funded through a Sourcewell contract and scheduled for delivery December 20, 2027; existing Engine 5 will be moved to reserve status.
The Kokomo Board of Public Works and Safety on Sept. 3 approved the purchase of a 2027 Rosenbauer pumper fire truck for $910,058. The vehicle purchase request came from Paul Edwards, Kokomo fire chief. The truck will replace Engine 5, which the department will move to reserve status.
Edwards told the board the purchase would be made through Sentinel Emergency Solutions LLC under Sourcewell contract number 113021-RSD. Projected completion for the truck is Dec. 20, 2027, with payment due in January 2028. The board voted unanimously to approve the purchase.
The board did not discuss financing beyond the Sourcewell procurement reference in the meeting record. No additional conditions or amendments to the vendor contract were recorded during the meeting.
The truck will be added to the department inventory once delivered; the record does not specify where the appropriation will come from or whether the purchase requires further council or budget approval.
