In its meeting held September 17, 2012, the Board authorized issuance of a blanket purchase order to Ward International, LLC, for $190,000, for repair and maintenance of Public Safety's ambulance fleet for Fiscal Year 2012-13.  The original Purchase Order to Ward, 130049, was issued for $185,000.  In addition to required routine and warranty maintenance, vehicle accidents involving ambulances, an increased number of air conditioner issues and one major engine failure has resulted in expenditures beyond what was budgeted through this purchase order.  The recommended Change Order will add the funds in an amount estimated to be needed for the balance of the current fiscal year.
