ANALYSIS (continued)
During the past nine (9) months many members of the Fire Department have worked arduously to
produce this final product -- the purchase of two (2) Pierce Dash 2000 - 55' Skybooms. 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.
We will purchase the two fire trucks directly from the manufacturer Pierce Manufacturing, Inc, which
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. Their one-source solution
is guaranteed by a 100% Performance and Payment Bond (copy attached).
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
offollowing:
Welded modular construction. Pierce parts are formed 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:
(I) 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 of color,
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.
