SUBJECT: Resolution 2019-63 —Alaska Fire Training Center ARFF Vehicles
A component of the rehabilitation project at the Alaska Regional Fire Training Facility was
replacement of the two 1998 Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Vehicles that are used for firefighter
training.
These trucks far exceed what the Federal Aviation Administration considers their useful fife (15
years), maintenance and repair costs are increasing in frequency and cost, and firefighters are
training on ARFF vehicles older that what they operate on their airports.
Airport Administration has been working with the FAA on the replacement in anticipation of FY19
discretionary funds. The replacement cost for the two trucks is approximately $1,600,000. The
FAA obligation is 93.75% and City obligation of 6.25%.
The FAA and the Alaska Department of Transportation have agreed and approved the City
utilizing the State's open competitive bid process and tagging those contracts for both the 3,000
and 1,500 gallon trucks. The 3,000 gallon ARFF vehicle State contract in place with Oshkosh is
$ 809,595 (excluding delivery) and the 1,500 gallon ARFF vehicle is bidding in August 2019
(estimate is $850,000).
Thank you for your consideration.
