Analysis
As a part of the FY 2016 CIP budget, City Council approved $260,000 to refurbish and remount two Frazer Type I ambulances (boxes) onto two new cab/chassis. The Fire Department is requesting a budget increase of $1,750 and authorization to make this purchase using a HGAC price agreement with Frazer and Mac Haik.
These will be the first two units to be refurbished then mounted on a new cab and chassis. The savings to remount versus a new cab and chassis is approximately $85,000.
The trade-in of two 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 cab/chassis reduces the cost by $6,000 and is recommended by the department due to age, mileage and performance. Unit 2662, VIN ending 531392 has 158,000 miles and unit 2663, VIN ending 531393 has 123,000 miles.
