Resolution 2011 -19 Ambulance replacement
'111'
The purpose of this memo is to address and support the proposed replacement of our Freight
Liner Ambulance. Shortly after its purchase in 1997, the manufacturer of this ambulance,
Emergency One, shut down their ambulance product line and parts availability has suffered,
Finding replacement parts for this vehicle has been a struggle for many years. The electronics
associated with emergency lighting and battery maintenance within this vehicle is proprietary
to this manufacturer and with company not building ambulances, finding replacement parts for
this complex system has been an ongoing battle.
1992
Another reason for recommending the replacement of this ambulance is this vehicle's frequent
and reoccurring breakdowns and failures leading to a overall tack of dependability. Especially in
this past year, this vehicle has had major engine problems leading to it being placed out of
service multiple times. The last incident was for a failed head gasket that kept it out of service
for an extended period. Because of call volumes, and the need for an additional ambulance,
we have had to borrow Nikiski Fire Department's ambulance numerous times throughout this
last year creating a burden for the neighboring department.
Discussions with our vehicle maintenance shop about this ambulance have been supportive of
the replacement of this vehicle. Because of the constant and reoccurring times this ambulance
in is the in the vehicle maintenance shop, and the priority placed on emergency vehicles, other
work is being deferred. In a memo dated August of 2010, the shop foreman accounted for this
vehicle being in the maintenance shop 6 (six) times in 2 (two) months this past summer for
different problems.
Replacement of this vehicle would be my recommendation.
