  5.       
City Council Regular Meeting
Meeting Date: 06/28/2022  

BACKGROUND
Resolution 21-R-112 was approved by Council on October 12, 2021. This item is being brought back before Council because the overall cost to purchase the apparatus has increased significantly due to current economic situation, supply and demand, and present inflation. As such, we are requesting to update previous resolution to current pricing increases. This would change the amount from $170,000 to $195,000.  
Within the FY22 fiscal budget year, Schertz Fire Department was approved to purchase one (1) Brush truck vehicle. The Brush Truck being purchased will be a Ford F550 customized by Siddons Martin, Skeeter Brush Trucks. It will be a crew cab truck equipped with a Ford Powerstroke 6.7-liter V-8 turbo diesel engine, 4-wheel drive and automatic transmission. The suspension is an engineered 2-inch lift for increased ground and high-water clearance. The pump is capable of pumping up to 300 gallons per minute and will carry 400 gallons of water with a 10-gallon foam tank for increased fire-fighting capability. 
Siddons Martin is a BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative vendor, which satisfies the state requirement of local governments to seek competitive procurement. Using a cooperative allows the City to procure vehicles through best-value and capitalize on volume discounts. The total BuyBoard price submitted by Siddons Martin Skeeter Division including delivery of the vehicle is $195,000.00. 
GOAL
 Approval of Resolution 22-R-62 
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Fire service in the community is expected to improve with the purchase of the new fire apparatus due to increased reliability, greater functional capability, and reduced operating costs. This apparatus will also be setup for State of Texas All-Hazards and wildland TIFMAS deployments.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total BuyBoard price submitted by Siddons Martin Skeeter Division including delivery of the vehicle is $195,000.00. Funds are available from current TIFMAS deployment reimbursement receipts. This is a $25,000 increase from the original amount requested.
