Fire territory approves $267,685 purchase to replace crash-damaged ambulance
Summary
The Fire Territory Board approved buying a refurbished ambulance from Donley Safety for $267,685 after an insurance payout of $220,000 for Medic 134; the board agreed to fund the remainder from the equipment replacement fund to restore backup coverage.
The Fire Territory Board voted to approve the purchase of a replacement ambulance for Medic 134 at a price quoted at $267,685 from Donley Safety. Harder, who presented the item, said the vehicle was damaged in a January crash and that the insurance company offered $220,000 toward replacement.
"We are in desperate need of replacing that ambulance," Harder said, explaining the money from insurance will be applied and the remainder will come from the vehicle equipment replacement fund. He told the board having a reliable backup prevents the department from needing to borrow ambulances from neighboring agencies when units are out of service.
Committee member moved to approve the resolution to purchase the ambulance and another member seconded; the board approved the resolution by voice vote. The board did not specify a delivery date in the discussion. No amendment or alternate vendor was raised during the item.
