Council committee recommends soliciting bids for $1.6 million fire aerial truck using CDBG funds
Summary
The council’s public safety committee recommended placing a resolution on consent to solicit bids for the purchase and delivery of an aerial fire apparatus (reported around $1.6 million) to be funded with CDBG dollars; the item was slated for consent pending no objections.
Councilwoman Davila, chairing the Public Safety Committee, reported that the committee recommended authorization for the fire chief to solicit bids for one aerial fire truck (bid number 25.25) funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Committee discussion identified the purchase price in the range of $1,600,000 (committee members referenced figures such as $1.6 million during the workshop). Davila said the committee had reviewed the request and recommended moving the resolution forward on consent.
Councilman Jackson raised a procedural concern about being acknowledged during committee discussion but did not object to the substance of the request. There was no recorded opposition to placing the solicitation on consent during the workshop.
Ending: The item was scheduled to go on the consent agenda pending no objections and subject to the formal resolution appearing on a subsequent regular agenda for authorization to solicit bids.
