ANALYSIS
On November 2, 1999, the citizens of Miami Beach approved the issuance of$92 million in General
Obligation (G.O.) Bonds. There are three G.O. Bond programs that will fund community needs and
improvements over the next six years: Neighborhood Infrastructure, Parks and Beaches
Improvements; and Fire Safety Facilities and Equipment to renovate, expand, and improve fire
stations and related facilities located in the City, and to acquire and equip fire trucks.

ANALYSIS (continued)
It is important that this request be considered for approval by the City Commission on November
8,2000 and prior to the manufacturer's (3%) price increase scheduled to be effective on
November 15,2000. If consideration and approval of this request is not completed prior to
November 15, 2000, the cost of this purchase will increase by an additional $42,243.
The Fire Department has expedited its review and development of aerial specifications to present
this purchase request to the G.O. Bond Oversight Committee and the City Commission prior to
the date of the price increase.
Total General Obligation Bond allocation for the Fire Apparatus Replacement Project is
$2,700,000 for the replacement of five (5) fire apparatus. Approval of this request will complete
the purchase of four of the five and leave a balance of $411 ,908 to purchase the last pumper and
two thermal imaging cameras. We estimate the remaining funds are sufficient to complete all
purchasing goals for the Fire Apparatus Replacement Project.
During the past year many members of the Fire Department have worked arduously to produce these
final specifications -- the purchase of two (2) Pierce Model 2001 100' Aerial Platform on Dash 2000
Chassis. Input and agreement from all affected parties have been obtained through the Fire
Department's Labor/Management process, the Apparatus Committee, the Joint Occupational Safety
and Health Committee and a strategic planning meeting with the Fire Union and Senior Staff.
There are several clear advantages of Aerial Platforms over Aerial Ladder Apparatus:
1. Aerial Platforms, as the name suggests, supply a platform to work off when contrasted with the
instability and awkward position of working off the tip ofa straight ladder.
2. The platform can be used to effect below grade rescue, such as when a car is in the water.
3. Only one (1) Firefighter can work off the tip of an Aerial Ladder. Up to four (4) Firefighters can
work within the platform.
4. It is much safer and more comfortable for both the victim and the Firefighter when effecting an
elevated rescue.

ANALYSIS (continued)
We will purchase the two fire trucks directly from the manufacturer Pierce Manufacturing, Inc, who
has been in business since 1917.
Pierce has offered the City a one-source solution, which is an integrated approach that delivers
superior apparatus, advanced technologies, and a dedicated support team.
From their headquarters in Appleton, Wisconsin, all chassis, bodies and aerial systems are
engineered, tested and custom built to the City's exact specifications. Pierce's integrated approach
will consist of the following:
Welded modular construction. Pierce parts are fonned to precise dimensions with computerized,
numerically controlled press brakes, then welded into assemblies for stronger, more durable finished
products. All welding is done by certified welders on ISO calibrated equipment.
Computerized design and cutting. Assuring a high level of accuracy and consistency when creating
body panels and chassis, these processes provide exceptionally tight tolerances for a more solidly
built vehicle that will respond better and last longer. Should the City need replacement parts, a
computer file can recreate exact duplicates.
State-of-the-art painting process. A high level of corrosion protection results from Pierce's state-
of-the-art, environmentally advanced painting facility. Components go through a multi-step process:
(1) All surfaces are washed and prepared for priming; (2) All surfaces receive 2 coats of primer; (3)
Surfaces are sanded before applying final coats of paint; (4) All surfaces receive 2 top coats ofeolor,
depending on the specific order color scheme. Plus, holes are drilled before painting and apparatus
are painted in separate modules so the integrity of the paint surface is never compromised. On the
chassis, harnesses and air lines are installed after painting, for faster, easier trouble shooting.
Focused sub assembly. Through a team-building approach, craftspeople are responsible for a
specific portion of the vehicle, such as the pump house assembly. Close group communication and
extensive experience will lead to quick implementation of improvements, and a superior product.
Service. Ten-8 Fire Equipment Inc. is Pierce's sole distributor of Pierce Fire Apparatus for the State
of Florida. Ten-8 will be dedicated to provide service support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with
parts, service, and training.
Delivery. Delivery will be 240-270 calendar days after receipt of order.
