AGENDA ITEM #7.1 <br /> City of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes= <br /> REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Tom Nelson <br /> Date: January 5, 2021 <br /> Sub_ject: New Chassis for Tanker 3 <br /> Report: <br /> The PLFD has been trying to get a newer chassis for Tanker 3. Currently Tanker 3 <br /> is a DNR excess property purchase. It is a 1984 Mack Truck chassis with a 3700 <br /> gallon water tank. We purchased the truck from the DNR in 2005 for $1750. This <br /> truck does not meet NFPA standards for Fire Apparatus and needs to be replaced. <br /> We have the opportunity to upgrade the truck chassis through the same DNR <br /> program (excess property purchase). The chassis is a 2009 Freightliner, 6 wheel <br /> drive, heavy duty frame with 2000 miles. The purchase price is $7000. <br /> Our plan is to remove the water tank from the 1984 Mack and move it to the <br /> Freightliner. Some modifications will be necessary to the Freightliner to <br /> accommodate the water tank. Great Plains Fire has modified these chassis before <br /> for other departments and we plan to use their services to modify this chassis. <br /> Replacing this tanker through this process will assist in our truck rotation at a much <br /> lower cost than purchasing a new tanker. <br /> Council Action Requested: <br /> 1. Approve contract with DNR to purchase the 2009 Freightliner chassis for $7000 <br /> 2. Approve the use of Great Plains Fire to modify the chassis on the Freightliner to <br /> accommodate water tank, remove tank from 1984 Mack, install on Freightliner <br /> chassis, paint and upgrade the truck to NFPA 1901 standards for Fire <br /> Apparatus. Approx. cost $65,000.00 <br />
