Summary

Council approved purchase of two patrol units (Option 1: Dodge Durango) and one staff vehicle; council also approved purchase of a new SCBA compressor to support 4,500-psi bottles after staff reported the existing compressor cannot fully fill current bottles.

Council approved procurement of two patrol units after staff reported bids from major manufacturers and recommended the Dodge Durango as the lowest responsive option; the council adopted the related resolution. Staff explained decommissioned vehicles are rotated for admin use or auction and funds return to city accounts.

Separately, council approved purchase of one staff vehicle (resolution 26-79) and supported replacement of the SCBA compressor used to refill firefighter air bottles; staff said the current compressor dates from the early 1980s and struggles to reach full pressure for 4,500-psi bottles, and the recommended vendor (ProAir) was the low bidder. Council moved and carried the approvals.
