COMMON COUNCIL - CITY OF MUSKEGO
RESOLUTION #184-2009
APPROVAL OF REQUEST BY
TESS CORNERS VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
TO PURCHASE A PIERCE IMPEL PUMPER
WHEREAS, The Tess Corners Volunteer Fire Department has submitted a request to
purchase a Pierce Impel Pumper for $474,568; and
WHEREAS, The 2010 Capital Budget contains funds for this purchase; and
WHEREAS, The special committee appointed by the Mayor to review the purchase has
recommended approval; and
WHEREAS, This purchase is being approved pursuant to the formal “Agreement Between
the City of Muskego and the Tess Corners Volunteer Fire Company,” dated March 10,
1999, most specifically at Section 6 Subsection (b) concerning ultimate disposition of
vehicle (asset) ownership in that said vehicle will be relinquished by the Department to the
City at no cost to the City in the event the City terminates its relationship with the
Department for any reason.
WHEREAS, The Mayor is recommending payment at the time the contract is signed, which
will result in an additional discount of $12,497 making the final cost $462,071. This
payment option was used in 2008 when the fire department purchased the Quint/Aerial
Fire Truck; and
WHEREAS, The Mayor believes there is very little risk regarding the proposed payment
option, as Pierce is a highly rated company as supported by a report from Dun &
Bradstreet.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That the Common Council of the City of
Muskego, upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee, does hereby approve the
purchase of the Pierce Impel Pumper for a total cost not to exceed $462,071 and the
recommended payment option subject to Pierce providing a performance bond.
