| BACKGROUND: |
| Escambia County Fire Rescue has historically taken advantage of purchasing demo extrication tools in order to save thousands without sacrificing quality or technology. These tools are the latest in technological advancement and TNT honors the lifetime warranty. We have received excellent service with repairs and TNT provides a loaner piece of equipment when a piece has to be sent to the factory for repair. By providing a trade-in credit on older tools this provides the County with further savings and the ability to decommission older outdated equipment. It has also provided the County with a means of trading in different brands of older equipment to standardize the extrication equipment County wide. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
| Funding is available in Fund 352, LOST III Funds, Cost Center 330228, Fire Services Capital Projects, Project Code 08FS0018. |
