APPROVAL . RESOLUTION •. THE PURCHASE OF
HORTON AMBULANCES
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for the purchase of two new Horton
ambulances from Professional Ambulance through an Interlocal Participation Agreement
with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard).
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 325-48910-210-15-0042
(Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Fund FY2015) for a total amount not to exceed
$484,773.00.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Interlocal Participation
Agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buyboard) as allowed
by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271.102, Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a multiple award contract was awarded to
Professional Ambulance. The Fleet Services Department staff and Purchasing reviewed
the contract for specification compliance and determined that the contract would provide
the best product and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
This purchase is for replacement of Units 10402 and 10409 ambulances that was
approved in the FY2015 Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Budget. The purchase of
the two 2015 Horton ambulances will reinforce and provide the frontline coverage
needed for the City of Grapevine EMS as well as strengthen the reserve status of the
ambulance fleet. Professional Ambulance meets all the specifications and has provided
excellent sales and service to the City of Grapevine in the past.
