Due to the aging fleet and the increased call volume, repair cost is increasing. The repair of the engine and ladder trucks are essential to the operational needs of the Fire Department.

[Funding Source: Fund 143, Fire Department, Cost Center 330206, Fire Department Paid]

BACKGROUND:

Upon review of the Purchase Order, it has been determined that an additional $50,000 is needed for the repair and maintenance needs of the Fire Department. Due to the increased call volume and age of the fleet, the repairs and routine maintenance are needed to maintain the level of service needed by the Escambia County residents.

The Fire Department fleet includes 153 apparatuses and support vehicles. This is a diverse fleet allowing Fire Rescue the ability to respond to and mitigate many types of emergencies.

Although the current PO has available funds, we do not believe the balance is sufficient to maintain maintenance through the remainder of the fiscal year.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds are available in Fund 143, Fire Department , Cost Center 330206, Fire Department Paid
