Rowlett approves purchase of two ambulances at $822,092 to refresh frontline fleet
Summary
Council approved acquisition of two 2026 Horton Type I ambulances through a cooperative contract for up to $822,092; staff said the purchase keeps the department on a six-year replacement cycle and estimated delivery in July 2027.
The council approved a resolution authorizing the purchase of two 2026 Ford/Horton Type I ambulances from Professional Ambulance LLC under a Sourcewell cooperative contract for an amount not to exceed $822,092. Fire Chief Tim Gauthier said the purchase preserves fleet standardization and is part of a six-year replacement cycle that keeps newly retired frontline units available as reserves.
Chief Gauthier said the estimated delivery for the units, if approved, is July 2027, subject to supply-chain delays in the emergency-vehicle industry. The item passed on a unanimous council vote.
