General De Bomberos Voluntarios Del Peru (Volunteer Firefighters of Peru) in the amount of $10,000.
These two units have been declared as surplus and have been replaced. The units do not meet the
National Fire Protection Association code standards and are therefore not certified for use in the U.S. Due
to the age and condition of the City's surplus fire trucks, a fair value is $10,000, which would typically be
realized through an auction. These units will continue to be used for public service by serving the
emergency needs of our Sister City, Ica, Peru.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: December 10, 2008
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE SALE OF ONE (1) USED 1981
DARLEY PUMPER TRUCK AND ONE (1) USED 1987 SPARTAN LADDER
TRUCK, IN THEIR AS IS CONDITION, TO THE CUERPO GENERAL DE
BOMBEROS VOLUNTARIOS DEL PERU (VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS OF
PERU), IN THE AMOUNT OF $10,000.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
A letter of request to purchase one (1)1987 Spartan Ladder Truck and one (1)1981 Darley
Pumper Truck has been made by Miami Beach citizen Tomas Datorre on behalf of the
Cuerpo General De Bomberos Voluntarios Del Peru (Volunteer Firefighters of Peru) in the
amount of $10,000. (Please review the attached letter). This volunteer firefighting agency
services emergency needs of the City of Miami Beach's Sister City, Ica, Peru.
The 1987 Spartan Ladder truck and the 1981 Darley Pumper truck, were previously used in
a reserve service, and reached the end of their useful life to the City. Both units have been
replaced and are now declared as surplus. The 1987 Spartan Ladder Truck was approved
for replacement per January 11, 2006 Commission Memorandum R2B. The 1981 Darley
Pumper truck was approved for replacement per April 16, 2008 Commission Memorandum
R2A.
Currently, these surplus vehicles do not meet the standards of the National Fire Protection
Association code NFPA 1911, which governs the inspection, maintenance, testing and
retirement of in-service apparatus and therefore cannot be certified for continued use in the
U.S. without substantial rehabilitation. Comparable used fire trucks are NFPA certified,
refurbished and command a higher asking price. Due to the age and condition of the City's
surplus fire trucks, a fair value is $10,000, which would typically be realized through an
auction process.
As the use of these Fire trucks is not realistic in the U.S. for Fire services, the sale of the two
units to our Sister City in Peru for the approximate auction value, will allow the units to
continue to be used for public service. As Peru is not subject to the same NFPA standards
as U.S. fire departments, with a modest investment our Sister City can make continued Fire
service use of the two units.

Page 2 of 2
Pursuant to Section 2-315(c) of the Miami Beach City Code, the City Manager or his
designee shall have the authority to sell all surplus stock that has become unsuitable for
public use. Additionally, the City Manager or his designee shall have the authority to donate
surplus stock to another governmental entity, agency, or not-for-profit organization without
placing the surplus stock for public sale if the donation serves a charitable or public purpose,
the donation is in the best interest of the city, and the value does not exceed a replacement
value of $25,000.00.
The sale of subject surplus trucks serves a public purpose and it is in the City's best interest
to sell said trucks for $10,000.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the sale of
one (1) used 1987 Spartan Ladder Truck and one (1) used 1981 Darley Pumper Truck, in •
their as is condition, to the Cuerpo General De Bomberos Det Peru (Volunteer Firefighters of
Peru), in th amount of $10,000, finding the sale to be in the best interests of the City.
