SUBJECT: PURCHASE ORDER WITH SOUTH COAST FIRE EQUIPMENT, INC. FOR
THE PURCHASE OF A NEW PIERCE AERIAL LADDER TRUCK IN
THE AMOUNT OF $1,933,872 PLUS A 3% CONTINGENCY
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2024-25 Equipment Acquisition Budget has allocated sufficient funding
for the purchase of a new fire ladder truck. This purchase will replace the current 1995
Spartan reserve ladder truck that meets the City’s Vehicle Replacement Schedule under
the age criteria. It is recommended that the City Council approve a purchase order with
South Coast Fire Equipment for the purchase of a new Pierce aerial ladder truck in the
amount of $1,933,872 plus a 3% contingency.
BACKGROUND
An aerial ladder truck is critical to the Fire Department’s fire suppression operations, and
is designed to provide firefighters with a safe and stable platform to be able to access
high-rise buildings and other tall structures. Specifically, an aerial ladder truck provides
the following operational support during a fire incident: transportation to the fire scene,
logistics to support and carry specialized rescue tools, self-sustained electrical power,
lighting, water evacuation equipment, ground ladders, and delivering the primary aerial
ladder to reach upper floors of multi-story buildings.
Based on the Citywide Vehicle Replacement Schedule, the operational lifespan of a
ladder truck is 25 years (15 years frontline and 10 years reserve status) at 100,000 miles
of use. The FY 2024-25 Equipment Acquisition Budget has allocated a total of $3,044,100
for the purchase and upfitting costs of a new aerial ladder truck to replace the Fire
Department’s existing ladder truck that meets the City’s vehicle replacement’s age
criteria; this new vehicle will become the frontline apparatus. The 1995 Spartan aerial

ladder truck, Asset #60182, will be sent to auction or sold directly, and the 2010 Pierce
aerial ladder truck, Asset #80273, will be shifted from frontline to reserve status. Both
existing vehicles have been in service five years beyond the normal replacement
guidelines due to an aggressive preventative maintenance schedule and purchasing
quality equipment.
To maintain an effective fleet, a new vehicle is warranted. It is vital that a new aerial ladder
truck be purchased at this time, especially since the design and build of this type of
apparatus can take 46 months, or until the Year 2028, before the vehicle can be placed
into service. This extended lead time is reflective of years of supply chain shortages post-
pandemic and a backlog of existing demand.
DISCUSSION
The California Government Code authorizes public agencies to participate in cooperative
purchasing agreements such as those established by Sourcewell, while remaining within
the City’s adopted rules and procedures for purchasing. By utilizing this purchasing
program, the City is able to streamline the procurement process and purchase vehicles and
equipment at a lower cost. The cooperative agreement for this purchase is with
Sourcewell’s awarded contract to Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. (“Pierce”) via South Coast
Fire Equipment, Inc. South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc. is the exclusive manufacturing
dealership and vendor for Pierce serving the Southern California region. Additionally,
Pierce is a nationally recognized company that has been delivering exclusive fire safety
apparatus for over 110 years and is highly recognized from its history of building more
than 30,000 fire apparatus worldwide.
The bidding process, specifications, and contract for firefighting apparatus and fire service
vehicles under Sourcewell, with pricing from South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc., have been
reviewed by the Fire Department. The agreement has been determined to meet the City’s
procurement requirements and within the Department’s allocated budget for this vehicle.
See attachments for copies of Sourcewell’s contract and pricing from South Coast Fire
Equipment, Inc.
The proposed new Pierce aerial ladder truck will include additional safety features such
as updated braking systems; a motor that meets current emission standards; tighter
turning radius; a roll-over protection system; improved storage for today’s larger battery-
operated equipment; and additional ground ladders to meet the operational needs of
ongoing high density, multi-story construction.
Optional Pricing Opportunity
For Fiscal Year 2024-25, Pierce has offered two pricing options for a new aerial ladder
truck:

Page 3 of 4
• Option A – initial bid of $2,278,497.64 with no discount, and a potential increase
of 5% or more each year for the next four years (per the Producer Price Index/PPI
of Components Manufacturing’s inflationary adjustments). Hence, a total increase
of 20% or $456,000 could be applied to the original bid, for a full payment of
$2,734,500. Payment would be due upon receipt of the vehicle; or
• Option B - discounted bid of $1,933,871.57 if the City provides a 100% cash pre-
payment at the time of order. The City of Arcadia must send payment within 15
days of invoicing to qualify for this discount. A savings of $344,626, or 15% from
the original bid cost will be incurred with this option. A performance bond has been
added to this cost as a safety umbrella for the City of Arcadia if the company fails
to deliver their products and services, or they go out of business.
The following table delineates the cost summary and savings for each option:
Cost Description Amount
Option A: Original Bid with No Discount
Fire apparatus with tax $ 2,273,468.24
Performance Bond 5,015.40
California Tire Fee 14.00
Option A Total Price $2,278,497.64
Option B: With Prepayment Discount
100% cash prepayment discount (312,586.00)
Less tax (32,040.07)
Total Optional Discounts (344,626.07)
Total original bid $ 2,278,497.64
Sub-Total (Option B) (344,626.07)
Total optional discounts (344,626.07)
Option B Total Price 1,933,871.57
In Option A, for a four-year period, the City could invest the $2.3 million cost of the ladder
truck at a current investment rate of $4.30%, resulting to a total gain of $392,160.
However, with the annual 5% interest that the vendor could apply to the initial bid based
on PPI adjustments, the City could pay an additional $456,000 over the current price.
Therefore, the anticipated inflationary factor exceeds the potential additional investment
earnings by $63,840 even without considering the discount for prepayment. Thus, Option
A would not be a prudent financing selection for the City.

It is recommended that the City take advantage of the savings afforded by Option B for
the purchase of this aerial ladder truck, with a $344,626 or 15% in savings from the
original bid cost of $2,278,498.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding in the amount of $3,044,500 has been allocated in the FY 2024-25 for
the purchase of a new ladder truck and its upfitting costs ($2,400,000 budgeted for the
vehicle and $644,500 for upfitting expenses). If the recommended Option B is selected,
there will be a savings of $344,626.07, or 15%, from the original bid cost of $2,278,498.
Alternatively, if Option A is selected, the City could pay up to 5% or more in interest each
year for four years (total of 20%) against the original bid, resulting in an additional expense
of $456,000 or a total payment of $2,734,500.
A 3% contingency ($58,016) is requested to be included, resulting in a total expenditure
of $1,991,888. The contingency would be used to cover unanticipated needs based on
the timing of the build. Even with this added contingency cost, sufficient funding is
available in this Fiscal Year’s Equipment Acquisition Budget for this purchase.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve a Purchase
Order with South Coast Fire Equipment, Inc. for the purchase of a new Pierce aerial
ladder truck in the amount of $1,933,872 plus a 3% contingency.
