RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2006-009 authorizing the purchase of two medium duty rescue ambulances
from Road Rescue/Emergency Vehicle Group, Inc.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Funds are appropriated in the 2005-2006 fiscal year vehicle replacement budget for the purchase of
two ambulances. Medium duty rescue ambulances are utilized by City paramedics to provide
emergency services to citizens. The two ambulances scheduled for replacement this fiscal year
exceed the age and mileage requirements of the City's vehicle replacement program in
Administrative Order No. 3.
Section 3.28.090 of Carlsbad Municipal Code provides for the Purchasing Officer to purchase
equipment through cooperative purchasing programs with the other public agencies when the
agency has made their purchase in a competitive manner. On July 30, 2003, following a formal
bidding process, Clark County, Nevada received the lowest responsive bid for four medium duty
ambulances from Road Rescue/Emergency Vehicle Group, Inc. The price per unit was $149,992. On
October 21, 2003 Clark County awarded the bid to Road Rescue/Emergency Vehicle Group, Inc. in
the amount of $599,968.
Fire Department staff consulted with Road Rescue/Emergency Vehicle Group to make some minor
configuration changes to the ambulances. Some items required by Clark County were deleted and
substituted with items, which better meet our needs. The per unit price for the ambulances as
manufactured for Carlsbad is $150,173.55. The total price for the two ambulances including sales tax
is $300,347.10.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Unencumbered funds in the amount of $300,347.10 are available in the Vehicle Replacement Capital
Outlay Account for the purchase of the vehicles.
EXHIBITS:
1. Resolution No. 2006-009 approving the purchase of two medium duty rescue ambulances.
