Item 4HCITY OF
SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
January 7, 2014
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Michael Starr, Fire Chief
Subject: Approve the Purchase of a Type I Ambulance from
Frazer Ltd, Inc. in the amount of $179,400.
Action
Requested: Approve the Purchase of a Type 1 Ambulance from Frazer
Ltd, Inc. in the amount of $179,400.
Background
Information: Included in the FY 2014 Strategic Initiative budget were
funds to purchase a new ambulance to replace an eleven
year old ambulance. This ambulance currently requires a
high level of maintenance. The current front line ambulance
will be placed in reserve status, with plans to auction it off.
The cost of maintenance on our reserve ambulance in the
last fiscal year totaled $42,132.22. A new ambulance would
also introduce more advanced technological features. This
would increase the patients comfort level during transport to
an Emergency Department which, in turn, provides a greater
level of service to our customers. The Southlake Fire
Department Apparatus Replacement Plan recommends the
replacement of front-line ambulance units every 5 years. The
Plan also recommends replacement of reserve ambulances
every 4 years. Total service time for any Southlake Fire
Department ambulance should not exceed 9 years.
The current 2003 reserve ambulance is also a remount from
a 1997 ambulance. The patient compartment portion of the
vehicle was essentially removed from a 1997 chassis and
mounted onto the 2003 Ford chassis. The patient
compartment on the reserve ambulance alone is over 16
years old.
Financial
Considerations: The purchase of this ambulance was included and approved
as part of the FY 2014 budget. The current HGAC bid is
$179,400, which is within the budgeted amount.

Board Review: NIA
Legal Review: Final purchase contract will be sent to the City Attorney for
review.
Alternatives: Alternatives may include:
• Approve the purchase of a Frazer Type I Ambulance
through Frazer Ltd, Inc.
• Non -approval of the purchase of a Frazer Type I
Ambulance through Frazer Ltd, Inc. If the reserve
medic is not replaced, the cost of maintenance will
continue to increase to a point that it will not be
economically possible to continue running that piece.
of apparatus. Service delivery would be affected when
front line equipment has to be removed from service
for routine maintenance and repairs.
Staff
Recommendation: Staff recommends the purchase of a Frazer Type l
Ambulance off the Houston Galveston Council of
Governments cooperative purchasing program in the amount
of $179,400.
