WHEREAS, City of Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.56.140 authorizes the
Purchasing Agent to participate in cooperative arrangements with other governmental agencies
for the acquisition of equipment purchased through a competitive process; and
WHEREAS, based on a recent request for bid, the City of San Diego formally awarded a
Contract to Pierce Manufacturing on June 22, 2001, for purchase of twelve (12) similar Triple
Combination Pumpers; And
WHEREAS, from 1986 to 2000 the Fire Department maintained two reserve-vehicles for
its six fire stations (operating with 7 companies) and with the purchase of a new pumper last year
the Fire Department initiated a program of maintaining three reserve-vehicles; and
WHEREAS, this program was intended to retain in service the oldest vehicle, a
Telesqurt, (which was purchased in 1975 and has approximately 115,000 miles) as the third
reserve, however, due to the recent analysis by the Public Works Fleet Manager, it is
recommended to replace the Telesqurt rather than utilize it as a reserve; and
WHEREAS, due to the age and mileage of the vehicle, it was determined to be very
costly to maintain and may require extensive "down-time" for maintenance and repair and the
increased size of the City has had a significant impact on the overall mileage of the Fire
