North Fond du Lac board authorizes ordering two fire apparatus for 2025 CIP, keeps program under budget
Summary
The Village Board approved ordering two fire department vehicles for the 2025 capital improvement plan, capping unit 510 at $182,000 and unit 507 at $75,000; Chief Jake Flaherty said a new vendor reduced the price of 510 to under $182,000 and the combined purchase remains about $100,000 under budget.
The Village of North Fond du Lac Board of Trustees voted May 6 to order two replacement pieces of fire apparatus for the 2025 capital improvement plan.
Fire/EMS Chief Jake Flaherty told the board that a new vendor reduced the price for apparatus 510 to under $182,000. Flaherty said replacement of apparatus 507 could be up to $75,000 over budget on its own, but that, taken together, the two vehicles would be roughly $100,000 under the board’s combined CIP allocation.
Trustee John Duffy moved to approve ordering unit 510 at a cost not to exceed $182,000 and unit 507 at a cost not to exceed $75,000. Trustee Chuck Hornung seconded the motion. The motion passed with five ayes.
The board recorded the decision as part of budgeted CIP spending for 2025; the item did not specify delivery dates or vendor names beyond the vendor change noted by Chief Flaherty.
Next steps: the board’s action authorized staff to proceed with the orders within the specified maximum amounts; any contract details or delivery scheduling were not specified in the meeting record.
