Title: Approves a Purchase Order with Front Range Fire Apparatus for $1,704,010.00 for a one-time purchase of a replacement fire truck for Denver Fire Department, citywide. (PO-00180176).
Summary
The City of Denver has proposed an ordinance to approve a purchase order for a new aerial fire truck from Front Range Fire Apparatus at a cost of $1,704,010. This initiative responds to the Denver Fire Department's need to replace an aging fire truck that has been in service since 2007, which is becoming increasingly difficult to repair due to discontinued parts. The purchase is part of the city’s ongoing vehicle fleet management strategy and was previously approved by City Council during the budget process. This new fire truck is crucial for maintaining the operational readiness of the Denver Fire Department, ensuring public safety and effective emergency response throughout the city.
