Fire chief urges early procurement for 2029 engine and 2025 command vehicle
Summary
Chief Jake Flaherty told trustees the department must begin the procurement process soon to receive a replacement fire engine by 2029 and a command vehicle by 2025. Trustees asked him to gather multiple vendor estimates and return with quotes.
Fire/EMS Chief Jake Flaherty told the North Fond du Lac Board of Trustees the department needs to begin procurement work well in advance to meet delivery timelines for two vehicles. He said the replacement fire engine slated for 2029 will require an early start to the purchase process to hit that delivery year, and that the command vehicle included in the 2025 capital improvement plan should be ordered soon to ensure 2025 delivery.
Trustees asked Chief Flaherty to obtain estimates from multiple vendors and return with quotes at a future meeting. The minutes record a direction to gather competitive pricing but do not show a formal authorization for spending at this meeting.
