Purchase Authorization

The City Council will consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a purchase agreement for one Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Type I Pumper Fire Engine.

The vehicle will be procured from Golden State Fire Apparatus, Inc., utilizing the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program.

The total cost is not-to-exceed $1,439,073.

Equipment Replacement Rationale

The City's Fire Apparatus Replacement Plan identifies Engine E92 for replacement.

The frontline Type I pumper has reached the end of its useful life.

Aging fire apparatus typically leads to increased maintenance costs, difficulty obtaining parts, and declining reliability.

Operational Impact

Engine E92 currently serves as a frontline unit for the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department.

Acquiring a replacement vehicle will improve emergency response reliability and firefighter safety.

The update is intended to maintain operational readiness for future emergency calls.
