Engine <br />E92 is a frontline Type I pumper fire engine used by the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department for emergency response. As fire apparatus age, maintenance costs increase, <br />parts become more difficult to obtain, and reliability declines. Engine 92 has now reached the <br />end of its useful life. Replacing Engine E92 will improve emergency response reliability, <br />firefighter safety, and operational readiness. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department provides fire protection, emergency medical <br />response, rescue, hazardous materials response, and disaster response services to the Cities <br />of Pleasanton and Livermore. <br /> <br />Engine E92 is a frontline apparatus which is scheduled for replacement under the City’s Fire <br />Apparatus Replacement Plan. Replacing the engine will help maintain reliable emergency <br />response services and reduce the risk of increased downtime associated with aging <br />equipment. Engine E92 was purchased in 2014, and has 10,669 engine hours, mileage of <br />124,537, and total lifetime maintenance costs of $383,082. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />Engine E92 has reached the end of its useful service life. As it continues to age, the City can <br />expect higher maintenance costs, reduced parts availability, and increased risk of downtime. <br /> <br />The proposed replacement is a Pierce Enforcer 1500 GPM Type I pumper fire engine. The <br />new engine will meet current National Fire Protection Association safety standards and current <br />emissions requirements, while improving reliability and firefighter safety. <br /> <br />Fire apparatus manufacturing lead times are currently estimated at approximately 47 to 50 <br />months. Approving this purchase now will allow the City to secure a production slot and <br />support the planned replacement schedule. <br /> <br />The purchase will be made through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Program. <br />Sourcewell competitively solicits contracts for public agencies, allowing the City to use pre- <br />competed pricing without conducting a separate formal solicitation. <br /> <br />Page 142 of 318
