RESOLUTION #2024-184
Accepting bids related to Ambulance and auto cot loading
system and to approve purchase of Ambulance and auto cot
loading system from Legacy Emergency Vehicles
WHEREAS, the City of Monticello Ambulance Department has been budgeting set-a-side for and otherwise planning for the purchase of a new ambulance unit, and
WHEREAS, the Council finds that the funds have been set-a-side to provide for the purchase of this Ambulance unit and auto cot loading system. Council finds that purchasing the Ambulance unit and auto cot loading system is in the best interest of the City and the Ambulance Department; and should be approved, and
WHEREAS, that Legacy Emergency Vehicles has offered a discount if partial payment is paid at the time the contract is signed and the Council finds that the prepayment amount, thus reducing the purchase price by $5,000 for the ambulance unit and purchasing the new auto loading cot system now will save about $6,000, if purchased prior to the new year, was in the best interest of the City and will pay balance on delivery to the City, and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby authorize the City of Monticello Ambulance Director, Lori Lynch, to execute the Purchase Agreement between the City of Monticello / Monticello Ambulance Department and Legacy Emergency Vehicles, whereby the City of Monticello agrees to buy said new Ambuance unit at a cost of not to exceed $295,170.00 and the new auto loading cot system $58,206.00.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal for the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed. Done this 16th day of December, 2024.
