Purchase a new 100-foot aerial fire truck for $1,874,699
The council is asked to approve buying one Pierce Custom Velocity Platform 100-foot mid-mount aerial fire apparatus from Siddons-Martin Emergency Group for $1,874,699. The purchase would be made through a cooperative contract with the Houston-Galveston Area Council of Governments, which allows the city to use pre-negotiated pricing.
A new aerial fire truck expands the Fire Department's ability to fight high-rise and large-structure fires, directly affecting how quickly and safely crews can respond to major emergencies in Richardson.
