Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council through City Manager
FROM: Larry Anderson, Fire Chief LZA
SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of One Type III Fire Engine from Ferrara
Fire Apparatus, Inc., Holden, LA in the Amount of $308,100
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Authorizing the Purchase
of One Type III Fire Engine from Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., Holden, LA in the Amount of
$308,100.
BACKGROUND
The Type III fire engine referred to herein is a multi-purpose emergency response vehicle that
will replace two outdated vehicles which have been overdue for replacement for several years
now. This response unit combines the functionality of the two outdated vehicles it will replace at
a lower cost. Savings will be achieved by way of future fleet replacement cycles and removing
costs associated with ongoing maintenance of the two older apparatus. Equipment currently
residing on the two older vehicles will be re -positioned onto the new engine. Not having to
equip the new Type III from scratch with tools, hose, radios, specialized equipment, etc. also
equates to a considerable cost savings.
A Type III fire engine is capable of being utilized for structural firefighting, delivering
emergency medical services, rescues and extrication assignments. It is also particularly useful in
fighting vegetation fires and operating in flood inundated areas.
This newly purchased vehicle will replace two units currently in Fire's fleet inventory: a 1989
Type I fire engine (Unit 9385) which is overdue for replacement by 11 years and a 1982 Type IV
wildland/brush vehicle (Unit 9341) which is overdue for replacement by 21 years.
Petaluma Fire did not solicit competitive bids to arrive at its scicction of the Ferrara Type 111.
Instead, the Department utilized Municipal Code. Section 4.04.100 -Cooperative Purchasing
Programs which states: "Purchases of supplies and equipment made under a cooperative
purchasing program with the State, County or other public agencies are exempt from the
requirements of this chapter."
The qualifying "public agency" in this circumstance is the Hopland Fire Protection District in
Mendocino County. The Hopland FPD conducted an open competitive bid in January, 2012 and
awarded a contract to Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder. Ferrara Fire
Apparatus, Inc. has extended the sante pricing in effect at the time of Hopland bidding to the
City of Petaluma for this purchase.
The Type III fire engine was selected for purchase from Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. because the
Ferrara vehicle specification most closely matched the performance requirements and preferred
design specifications sought by Petaluma Fire Department's Apparatus Specification Committee.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The total cost for the Ferrara Type III fire engine is $308,100 which includes the base fire engine
cost of $276,418 plus $8,201 for minor alterations to the specification and sales tax $23,481
(8.25%). This vehicle is being purchased at a significant cost savings due to Ferrara Fire
Apparatus, Inc. honoring their pricing structure in effect in 2012.
Funds to purchase this vehicle will come from the City's Vehicle and Equipment Replacement
Fund, of which there is a current balance of $207,000. This purchase will require a one-time
transfer from the General Fund into the Vehicle Replacement Fund in the amount of $101,000.
That transfer and corresponding appropriation will be completed in conjunction with the year-
end budget adjustments brought forward for Council consideration in June, 2015.
Replacing two, very overdue vehicles in the Fire fleet with one multi-purpose Type III fire
engine will save the City an estimated $250,000 in the vehicle replacement cycle. In addition, it
significantly reduces on-going maintenance costs, as well as the need to replace tools, hose,
radios and other specialized equipment.

ONE TYPE III FIRE ENGINE FROM FERRARA FIRE
APPARATUS, INC., HOLDEN, LA IN THE AMOUNT OF 5308,100
WHEREAS, the Petaluma Fire Department has an aging fleet of fire apparatus and
purchasing one new multi-purpose emergency response Type III fire engine will allow the
Department to surplus two units in its fleet inventory that are long overdue for replacement,
one 1989 Type I (Unit 9385) and one 1982 Type IV (Unit 9341); and
WHEREAS, replacing two aged vehicles with one new response unit will show
significant cost savings in the first vehicle replacement cycle alone and will reduce overall
maintenance and mechanical costs typically associated with maintaining older vehicles; and
WHEREAS, Petaluma Municipal Code section 4.04.100 -Cooperative Purchasing
Programs states: `Purchases of supplies and equipme77t made under a cooperative
purchasing program with the State, County or other public agencies are exempt from the
requirements of this chapter; and
WHEREAS, the Petaluma Fire Department did not solicit competitive bids to arrive at
its selection of the Ferrara Type III fire engine, but instead, will utilize Municipal Code
Section 4.04.100 -Cooperative Purchasing Programs; and
WHEREAS, Hopland Fire Protection District is a qualifying public agency under
Petaluma Municipal Code section 4.040-100; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 20162, in January, 2012,
FIopland Fire Protection District conducted an open competitive bid process for a Type III
fire engine with similar preferred specifications to Petaluma Fire; and
WHEREAS, via Hopland Fire Protection District Board of Directors Meeting Minutes
dated February 16, 2012, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. was awarded with a contract for the
purchase of a Type III fire engine because Ferrara Fire Apparatus. Inc. was the lowest
responsible bidder; and
WHEREAS, Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. has extended the same pricing in effect at the
time of the Hopland Fire Protection District bid process to the City of Petaluma in order to
facilitate its purchase now and alleviate three years of escalated pricing on a vehicle that
matches Petaluma Fire Department specifications, and
WHEREAS, the funding for the desired Type III fire engine will come from the City's
Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council authorizes the
Purchase of One Type III Fire Engine from Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., Holden, LA in the
Amount of $308,100, which includes applicable taxes, and authorizes the City Manager to
execute a purchase agreement.

Basic Two Year Limited Warranty
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc., ("Ferrara") warrants each new fire and rescue vehicle manufactured by Ferrara to be
free of defects in material and workmanship for a warranty period of two year after the date on which the vehicle is
first delivered to the original purchaser.
Ferrara's obligation under this warranty is limited to repairing or replacing, as Ferrara may elect, without charge to
the original purchaser, the item or items which Ferrara, after examination, finds, to Ferrara's satisfaction, to be
defective as to material or workmanship.
Ferrara's obligation under this warranty is subject to the conditions precedent (1) that the claimed defect shall have
first appeared during the warranty period; (2) that the original purchaser shall have notified Ferrara in writing of the
claimed defect within thirty (30) days after the claimed defect shall have first appeared, and (3) that, unless Ferrara
directs otherwise, the claimed defective item or items shall have been returned to Ferrara, or to Ferrara's designee,
promptly after the notification, with transportation charges prepaid. Ferrara reserves the right to thoroughly examine
the vehicle or parts thereof, prior to conducting or approving any repair or replacement, to determine whether the
claimed defect is covered by this warranty.
In advance of the original purchaser effecting repair or replacement of an item or items found by Ferrara to be
defective as to material or workmanship, approval for the repair or replacement must be obtained from Ferrara's
Customer Service Department. Repair or replacement must be made by a facility approved in advance by Ferrara.
Failure to obtain either or both of the advance approvals voids this warranty. Coverage under this warranty of labor
for repair or replacement is limited to the time or amounts reasonably necessary, as determined by Ferrara, to make
the repair or replacement. Labor time or amounts deemed excessive by Ferrara are not covered under this warranty.
Any repair or replacement effected by Ferrara under this warranty is itself warranted under this warranty for the
duration of the warranty period subject, however, to the provisions of this warranty as are applicable to the item or
items repaired or replaced by Ferrara.
This warranty terminates upon transfer of possession or ownership of the vehicle from the original purchaser.
This warranty does not apply to or cover: (1) normal maintenance services or adjustments; (2) any item that has been
repaired, replaced or altered by a facility not approved in advance by Ferrara's Customer Service Department, or in a
manner which, in Ferrara's judgment, may adversely affect the operation or longevity of the vehicle or item; (3)
special, incidental or consequential damages
Including, but not limited to, loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use, or lost profits; (4) any malfunction resulting
from misuse, negligence, alteration, accident or lack of operational knowledge or normal maintenance or
adjustments; (5) time required to unload or reload the vehicle or item; (6) replacement of maintenance items
including, but not limited to, filters, screens, lubricants, light bulbs, belts, hoses, seals and other incidentals; (7)
transportation fees including towing or charges to or from any facility; or (8) any item which is manufactured by a
party other than Ferrara and which is separately warranted by that party.

vehicle or item has been damaged in an accident or by an act of God, or that the defect is attributable to use or �'
operation of the vehicle or item in a manner or for a purpose other than that for which Ferrara intended or designed
the vehicle or item.

with fresh water. This step removes wax, grease and other surface contaminants, thus leaving a bright, clean, and
conditioned surface.
o A self -etching, metal primer shall be applied next. The self -etching primer shall fill all of the minor imperfections,
scratches, etc. in the metal. This step produces a corrosion resisting conversion coating that prevents off oxidation
and other surface contaminants leaving a surface that gives excellent paint adhesion.
e A sandable primer shall be sprayed on the metal that seals the surface for the polyurethane paint. A minimum
coating thickness of 2 MIL shall be applied. Primer is then sanded smooth leaving the best surface for topcoat.
