SUBJ: Emergency Purchase, Air Compressor, Chanhassen Fire Department
' Yesterday I was notified by the fire department that the air compressor used to fill our
portable air tanks had a major engine failure. Costs to repair the compressor are estimated at
$3,000 to $4,000. We purchased the unit used twelve years ago. The unit is marginal in its
' capability to fill the new air packs currently being purchased and likely to be purchased as
older tanks are replaced. If repaired, the chances for.Te- failure are relatively high.
u
This office considers this purchase to fall into the categor
replacement cost is estimated to be slightly outside of the
can take action, i.e. the cost will likely exceed $15,000,
$20,000. I would anticipate having two quotes in by late
the award to the lowest responsible bidder. I will distribi
Monday evening. Accordingly, Monday evening's action
council of the award I am anticipating making today. Ag
piece of equipment. The delivery is anticipated to take a]
that we will have to rely upon mutual aid, modifying trail
involving air packs, and support from neighboring depart,
i of "emergency repairs." The
legal range under which this office
it is estimated to be less than
this afternoon and I plan to make
to the quotes to the council on
would be confirmation by the city
iin I consider this to be a vital
proximately 6 weeks which means
ing schedules to delete exercises
rents ,during_ the next 6 weeks.
Within the next month I would anticipate this item reappearing on the city council agenda as
a budget amendment. Funding for' "the emej
sources: 1) the sale of fire department equi
purchases; and 3) potentially through fire de
)ense is likely to occur through 3
cost savings and other equipment
fund raiser monies.
Should the city council find that the action taken by myself today is not acceptable, I
anticipate that we would be able to cancel that order without penalty to the city. Should the
city council support the action taken by myself, I would ask that you pass a motion
confirming that the purchase represented an emergency purchase and the City Manager's
office correctly acted in ordering the replacement unit (a retroactive approval of the low bid).
