Council reviews AFG-funded powered hose roller purchase for fire division, capped at $77,420
Summary
Council considered Resolution 158-2025 authorizing the purchase of an RNR Power Roller from Rollrock LLC at a cost not to exceed $77,420, funded in part through a federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) with a local cost share noted.
Council members took up Resolution 158-2025, which would authorize the mayor to enter a purchase agreement with Rollrock LLC for a powered fire hose rolling system (the RNR Power Roller) for the division of fire. The item was presented as a grant-funded purchase under the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG).
A presenter said the total cost would not exceed $77,420 and described the RNR Power Roller as a sole-source system that meets NFPA requirements. The speaker explained that part of the purchase is covered by a $51,100 AFG-funded portion with a federal share covering 95% and a local 5% match on that portion (the presenter cited a $2,400 local cost share for the $51,100 portion). The AFG was described as a reimbursement grant, with equipment expenses budgeted previously in the operational fund.
The transcript records council confirmations and 'Yes' responses during the procedural sequence. The resolution was presented as a routine, grant-funded equipment authorization.
