Bolingbrook approves $101,670 in equipment purchases for new fire engine
Summary
The Village of Bolingbrook approved Resolution 25R-005 to buy loose equipment for a new fire engine arriving in fiscal year 2026. Four vendors will supply tools and fittings at a total cost of $101,670, $11,330 under budget; the purchase passed 6‑0.
Bolingbrook’s Village Board on Feb. 11 approved purchases of loose equipment to outfit a new fire engine scheduled for delivery in fiscal year 2026, voting unanimously to adopt Resolution 25R‑005.
The board authorized four vendors to supply equipment at a combined cost of $101,670, which the minutes state is $11,330 below the budgeted amount. The vendors and amounts listed in the minutes are Air One Equipment ($35,554); Conway Shield ($2,187); Equipment Management Company ($41,905); and W.S. Darley ($22,024). The Public Safety Committee had previously reviewed and recommended the purchases.
Trustee Jean M. Kelly moved adoption of the resolution and Trustee Jose Quintero seconded; the roll-call vote was recorded as six yeas, zero nays. The minutes indicate the purchases are being approved now because of part shortages and to ensure equipment is available when the engine arrives.
The resolution does not change vehicle procurement timelines: the engine delivery remains planned for fiscal 2026. The minutes do not specify delivery dates for the individual equipment items or any warranty/maintenance terms.
The board meeting record shows no opposition recorded to the purchases. The item was entered as 25R‑005 in the meeting agenda and passed on a recorded vote.
