City of San Diego and Authorizing Cooperative Purchase
//���� of a Fire Pumper From the City of Los Angeles
SUBMITTED BY: Directof'�/ lic Safety (4/5ths Vote: Yes x No )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager '`
At the meeting of February 5, 1985, the City Council authorized cooperative purchase of
a fire pumper via the City of San Diego. Since that date: (1) San Diego Fire Equipment
Company has rescinded their offer to the City to cooperatively purchase a fire pumper
via the City of San Diego; and (2) the City has been extended the opportunity to coopera-
tively purchase a fire pumper through the City of Los Angeles by Seagrave Fire Apparatus,
Inc. at a price which is $11,514 lower than that of the City of San Diego.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council:
1. Rescind Resolution #11931 authorizing purchase of a fire pumper via a cooperative
purchase arrangement with the City of San Diego.
2. Authorize the purchase of a fire pumper via a cooperative purchase arrangement with
the City of Los Angeles.
3. Appropriate $11,:780 in supplemental funds for purchase of a fire pumper.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On January 28th, San Diego Fire Equipment Company provided a written offer to the City
to purchase a fire pumper via a cooperative purchase arrangement with the City of San
Diego at a price of $148,294 (including sales tax) . On February 5th, the City Council
authorized staff to purchase the fire pumper. However, before a purchase order could be
issued, San Diego Fire Equipment Company rescinded their offer.
Seagrave Fire Apparatus, Inc. , however, extended a written offer to the City on February 14th
to purchase a fire pumper via a cooperative purchase arrangement with the City of Los
Angeles. The City of Los Angeles awarded a bid to Seagrave Fire Apparatus, Inc. for 41
fire pumpers in June, 1984. Staff believed too much time had elapsed since the award for
the bid price to be valid. However, subsequent to Council authorization for cooperatively
purchasing the fire pumper through the City of San Diego, staff learned from the City of
Los Angeles and the vendor, Seagrave Fire Apparatus, Inc. , that the bid price could be
extended to the City of Chula Vista. The specifications for the fire pumper purchased
by the City of Los Angeles equal or exceed Chula Vista's specifications in all of its
major components.
The cost to the City of Chula Vista for a fire pumper purchased on a cooperative arrange-
ment with the City of Los Angeles would be $136,780 (including sales tax) or $11,514 less
than the cost of a fire pumper purchased with the City of San Diego.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Replacement of the fire pumper under the cooperative purchasing arrangement will require
a supplemental appropriation of $11,780.
