Work Session and Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:	12/11/2018
Department:	General Services
Pillars:	Excellence in Asset Management

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action to Approve a Resolution for the Purchase of One 2018 Frazer Ambulance, from Frazer Ambulance, Under the Town's Interlocal Agreement with Texas Local Government Purchasing Cooperative Known as Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) in an Amount not to Exceed $271,636.74.

BACKGROUND:

Through the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF) the Town budgets for large vehicle and equipment purchases, by each department contributing funds annually to replace that department's items. The amount each department contributes is based on their vehicle or equipment replacement needs as well as the depreciation schedule of each type of item. This assures that funding will be available when that item has reached the end of its useful life and is in need of replacement.

The Town of Addison is a member of several purchasing cooperatives. These cooperatives bid out products and services for its members to provide the leverage needed to achieve the best pricing on products, equipment, and services. For this purchase the Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) cooperative pricing will be used.

The following item used by the Fire Department has reached the end of useful life and is recommended to be replaced with a new model:

Equipment	Vendor	Cooperative Agency	Amount
1 2018 Frazer Ambulance	Frazer Ambulance	Houston Galveston Area Council	$271,636.74
Total Estimated CERF Cost FY 2019			$271,636.74

RECOMMENDATION:

Administration recommends approval.
