Title
Resolution to Authorize the Purchase of a 2025 E-One Custom Typhoon Class A Pumper Fire Apparatus from West Shore Fire Inc. (Sourcewell - $800,000.00)
Memorandum
The attached resolution authorizes the purchase of one 2025 E-One Custom Typhoon Class A Pumper at a cost of $800,000.00 through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program (contract #113021-RVG-1) for use by the Safety Services Area, Fire Department.
Under the Fire Chief's apparatus plan, once the new pumper is placed into service in late 2025, a 2011 Crimson engine (#1074) will be moved from frontline service to itinerant (reserve) service. The current itinerant unit, a 2005 Spartan engine, will be sold at auction.
E-One was awarded Contract Number 113021-RVG-1 by the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program for fire service apparatus. The City's purchasing unit has reviewed the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program and found that it meets the requirements of the City of Ann Arbor for competitive and fair purchasing. West Shore Fire Inc., Allendale, Michigan, is the approved local vendor for E-One fire apparatus.
The new pumper will be equipped with the latest in idle reduction technology by E-One. The system integrates lithium-ion batteries and a diesel engine control system to allow, based on load and settings, up to three hours of vehicle operations for user-defined mission critical on-scene loads and for HVAC climate control with the engine shut down. This system will result in lower fuel usage, less engine wear, lower noise levels, and zero emissions when operating under lithium-ion power. The Office of Sustainability and Innovation has agreed to fund the upgrade for the idle reduction technology in the amount of $31,856.00.
The resolution includes an approximately 3.5% build contingency of $30,000.00 to cover potential change orders during fabrication to be approved by the City Administrator if necessary.
West Shore Fire Inc. complies with the requirements of the Ci...
