RES 22-136  
A Resolution Approving a Purchase Agreement with MacQueen  
Equipment, LLC for an Enforcer Pumper to be built by Pierce  
Manufacturing, Inc. through the Houston-Galveston Area Council  
Purchasing Program in an Amount Not to Exceed $850,000 to be Ordered  
in 2022 and Paid from the 2023 Budget, Authorizing Execution of the  
Agreement and Waiving the Village’s Bid Process for the Agreement  
Overview:  
This action authorizes the purchase of a fire engine pumper to replace a  
twelve-year-old reserve fire engine. In the 2022-2026 Capital Improvement  
Fund budget, a placeholder of $750,000 was included in the FY23 extended  
year to purchase a new engine in the Fleet Replacement Fund. Due to the  
inflationary environment, staff is increasing the requested amount by  
$100,000, to $850,000. Ordering now with an estimated delivery date in 24  
months would also lock in the price. Should the Village wait, it is very probable  
that the price will continue to increase above and beyond the current quoted  
price of $850,000.  
The wait time between ordering right now and taking delivery is estimated at  
24 to 26 months. Therefore, in all likelihood, the earliest time that the Village  
would take delivery for this engine (if ordering now) would be the summer of  
2024.  
This manufacturer was chosen for consistency in the fleet. Crews rotate  
stations and apparatus assignments. Utilizing the same manufacturer reduces  
training time which carries over to higher quality emergency responses.
