APPROVAL OF A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE
REFURBISHMENT OF AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS
City Council to consider a change order to a contract with Emergency Vehicles of Texas
for the refurbishment of an aerial fire apparatus equipment in the amount of $21,313.00.
FUNDING SOURCE:
The refurbishment of this equipment will be paid for over a term of five years. The first
payment will be made from funds available in account number 325-48910-000-0-03. All
future payments will be made from funds available in the Lease Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Council approved refurbishment of this equipment on September 19, 2000. The original
cost of the refurbishment was $186,555.00. However, during the refurbishment process,
the need for additional repairs was discovered. Those repairs include bearing
replacement, major pump repairs, rusted waterway and replacement of several pump
valves.
Staff has worked with Emergency Vehicles and visually inspected the equipment in light
of the recommendations and Fleet Services has requested a change order in the
amount of $21,313.00 to cover the additional repairs.
Local Government Code Section 252.048 (d) allows the original contract price to be
increased by not more than 25 percent. This increase is 11 %, which will bring the total
cost of the refurbishment of the equipment to $207,868.00.
Staff recommends approval of the change order.
