Consider motion to approve the purchase of a 2020 Type I Braun Ambulance from North Central Emergency Vehicles in the amount of $301,010 through the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) Cooperative Purchasing Agreement.

The Ankeny Fire Department is requesting to purchase a 2020 Type I Braun Ambulance approved in the FY 2021 Budget at $300,010.

An Ambulance Specification Team comprised of department personnel (officers, engineers and firefighter/paramedics) and a representative of the Central Garage staff was assembled and developed the specifications for this ambulance. The specifications were developed with the following goals:

• Improve occupant safety
• Comparable design with existing ambulances
• Assure the ability for future remount of the ambulance module on a new chassis

• Meet or exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), KKK-A-1822F and Ambulance Manufacturer Division Standards (AMD)

The vendor has informed us that if we place the order the week of July 6 the unit will be complete in December 2020 or early January 2021 based on chassis availability.
