Board approves Crossroads ambulance purchase, authorization pending legal review
Summary
The Elkhart Board of Public Safety approved moving forward with a Crossroads ambulance purchase and authorized the assistant fire chief or Fire Chief Dale to sign the agreement, with final approval subject to legal review and Sourcewell contract terms. The contract references a 2026 Type 1 Titan custom ambulance.
The Elkhart Board of Public Safety on July 28 voted to approve moving forward with a Crossroads ambulance purchase and authorized the assistant chief or Fire Chief Dale to sign the agreement pending legal review and Sourcewell contract approval. Chief Dale described the vehicle as a 2026 Type 1 Titan PL custom ambulance for the Elkhart Fire Department.
Chief Dale stated the apparatus price in his presentation as "$552,991." When the motion was read aloud later in the meeting the transcript recorded a different, likely garbled figure. The board approved the motion to proceed and authorized signatures, subject to legal review; the final contract price will be confirmed during that review. The motion carried on a voice vote with no opposed members recorded.
The board treated the item as a procurement action and instructed staff to complete the legal review and finalize signature authority. No public comments were offered on the purchase during the meeting.
