PUBLIC HEARING | January 26, 2026 LA County Alhambra City Council Item #2 |
| 20260126 | LA County | Alhambra | City Council | Item | 19. AWARD OF CONTRACT WITH FIRE APPARATUS SOLUTIONS FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO NEW KME K180 4119 PUMPERS AND AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR THE LEASE/PURCHASE THROUGH A FINANCING AGREEMENT WITH LEASING 2, INC. – F2M26-6B, C2M26-3, C2M26-9, M2M26-24 The fire engines that will be replaced are over twenty years old and do not accommodate the requirements or standards of apparatus today. Both units incur significant costs to maintain and repair. Once the engines are replaced with new apparatus, they will be rotated into reserve status. The Fire Department has opportunity to piggyback on Sourcewell Contract #113021-RVG-3 for the purchase of the new 2026 KME K180 4119 Pumpers with equipment from Fire Apparatus Solutions. Per the Alhambra Municipal Code 3.36.080(B), bidding exemption is authorized, and the City may “piggyback” onto an existing contract. Staff recommends purchasing two fire engines through a Sourcewell contract to achieve cost savings and reduce the estimated build time from approximately 48 months to 12 months. This procurement strategy allows the City to acquire two fire engines at more favorable pricing while accelerating delivery. The total cost to acquire and outfit two fire engines in FY 2026/27 is $964,980.45. Leasing 2, Inc. offers financing options with low interest rates for terms of seven or nine years. Staff recommends the seven-year financing term. The total lease/purchase cost for the two 2026 KME K180 4119 Pumpers is $2,904,863.15. The annual lease/purchase payment over the seven-year term is $414,980.45, with the first payment scheduled for January 30, 2027. Recommended Action: City Council award a purchase contract with Fire Apparatus Solutions for the purchase of two new 2026 KME K180 4119 Pumpers in the amount of $2,429,275.76; award of contract for the lease/purchase of the two new pumpers through a financing agreement with Leasing 2, Inc. in the amount of $2,904,863.15 for a seven year term, subject to final language approval by the City Manager and City Attorney; authorize the City Manager and/or her designee and the City’s Director of Finance to execute the necessary documents; direct the Finance Director to carry over $185,000 from FY 2025/26 to FY 2026/27, transfer $148,000 from CIP savings, and appropriate an 11 additional $171,580.45 from the Equipment Fund balance to fund the remaining shortfall for the acquisition and outfitting of two fire engines; and direct staff to undertake the necessary steps to finalize Council’s action.

There was one authorized change order during the project. The change order included unanticipated concrete removal for the old transformer pad, and the additional upgrades for the SCADA system. The change order increased the total amount of the contract by $117,284.45, for a total project cost of $476,836.45. The project has been completed in accordance with the City’s requirements and specifications. As such, it would be appropriate for the City Council to accept the project as complete and instruct the City Clerk that the Notice of Completion be filed with the County of Los Angeles Recorder’s Office.
