Irvington trustees approve $1.4 million fire rescue truck and several municipal contracts
Summary
The Village of Irvington board approved a $1.4 million purchase of a Pierce rescue truck, awarded an on‑call electrical contract, and authorized renewals and amendments for IT, financial advisory and heavy‑equipment services; funding for the truck will come from the village's 2025–2026 capital budget.
The Village of Irvington board voted to purchase a new heavy‑duty rescue truck and approved multiple contracts during its regular session.
Village staff presented a recommendation to buy a Pierce heavy‑duty rescue apparatus after negotiating specifications with the manufacturer and the fire chief to match Irvington’s narrow‑street operating needs. The board approved the purchase at a total cost of $1.4 million, with funding identified in the village’s adopted 2025–2026 capital budget. "I do commend the fire chief on working with the manufacturer to try to find savings," the Village Administrator said, noting changes both to the equipment list and manufacturing options helped contain costs.
At the same meeting the board also: awarded contract 2026‑18 for on‑call street‑light and electrical services to Morave Electric (the low responsive bid as reported by staff); renewed a two‑year retainer for financial advisory services with Capital Markets Advisors LLC at $10,000 per year; authorized agreements with A1 Computing Services for IT support at an annual fee of $71,864.04; and approved an amended heavy‑equipment contract for $134,850 to the contractor transcribed as 2XPC Corporation (DBA transcribed name).
Board members discussed the village’s ongoing work to standardize how contract values are presented in resolutions so the dollar amount appears in the first line consistently. On emergency medical services, the board renewed an agreement with the Irvington Volunteer Ambulance Board for June 1, 2026–May 31, 2027, in an amount not to exceed $124,800 to address manpower and overhead shortfalls.
