Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of One Pierce Tiller Fire Apparatus (Addition) for the Mesa Fire and Medical Department (Citywide) Tiller trucks are highly maneuverable due to the ability to steer the rear of the trailer independently. These trucks can maneuver through narrow streets, alleys, walkways, and cul-de-sacs; and can be positioned closer to buildings and structures on scene, which is critical to emergency response operations in communities with mid-rise buildings such as the downtown Mesa area. The Mesa Fire and Medical Department and Procurement Services recommend authorizing the purchase using the Sourcewell cooperative contract with Pierce Manufacturing, Inc./Hughes Fire Equipment at $2,517,000, based on estimated requirements. This purchase is funded by Apparatus Public Safety Bond Funds.
