The ambulance to be replaced is a 2005 unit with 120,000 miles and has reached its life expectancy.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
Finance recommends approval. Finance recommends leasing the apparatus using either the lease quote from the equipment manufacturer or the Bank of America finance lease program approved by the Commission on May 5, 2015 in a competitive bid process. In both situations, the structure will be a finance lease in which the City will own the equipment and will have the flexibility to retain it in service beyond the lease term.
Funding Source:
Funding is available from 501-3312-591-64.25 (Fleet Maintenance - Heavy Equipment).
