Fire Chief Amy Scheller is recommending City Council approval for the pre -payment
purchase for the two fire department engines in FY2026 for an estimated delivery of
August -December 2027 (FY 2028). Seeking approval for early payment in FY2026 and
debt issuance in FY2026 instead of FY2027 and FY2028.
To avoid a .75% price increase on August 1, 2025, 1 have already executed the
purchase agreement.
Both engines have been budgeted through the FY2027 and FY2028 CIP process and
were debt funded abated by local option sales tax. The proposal is to prepay for both
engines in FY2026 for an estimated reduction of $180,642.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

INTRODUCTION:

All -America City
2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
This memo respectfully requests approval to purchase the department's next 2 fire
engines utilizing a pre -payment option communicated by the vendor for a reduction in
overall costs.
BACKGROUND:
The fire department received budget approval during the FY2025 budget process to
begin work to identify appropriate replacements for the FY2026 and FY2027 fire engine
replacements. During the FY2026 CIP budget process the two vehicles were moved
back a year to FY2027 and FY2028.
Two engines being replaced are currently in reserve status and will be 20 years old in
FY2027 (Engine 1907) and FY2028 (Engine 1905). The front-line engines, Engine 503
and Engine 502, will be 18 and 15 years old in FY 2027 and bump down from front line
response status into reserve status for an additional 5 years. The engines were
evaluated and recommended by vehicle services for replacement during the FY2025
CIP process. The vehicles were evaluated again for the FY2026 process and
recommended for replacement again.
These purchases will follow the manufacturer specification and build timeline currently
estimated at 2.5 years minimum. A contract signed today will place the vehicles into the
building and manufacturing process and secure a place in the manufacturing timeline
(communicated at 30 months). The two engines would have an estimated delivery date
of August -December 2027 (FY2028) at the earliest.
The department has established a vehicle replacement committee of 8 representatives
from both stations where the two new engines will be located for front line status. The
committee was led by the two station captains who coordinated all aspects of the
Page 1205 of 1311
specification process. The committee met 7 times from August 28th, 2024, until January
9th, 2025.
The committee created a list of priorities for the replacement of the engines, identified
potential vendors, and met with each vendor to provide a recommendation to senior
staff for replacements. The committee utilized feedback from vehicle services
mechanics and the safety committee during the selection process. The committee
selected Pierce.
Pierce is a well -established vehicle manufacturer with a large footprint across the United
States in fire service and military vehicle design, sales, and construction. The committee
evaluated 4 vendors and provided strong documentation on the selection of Pierce,
which was not the highest or lowest priced vendor. Justification included unanimous
support for the Pierce Saber Pumpers (a mid -line selection) and included the following
information from the recommendation memo:
Unanimously (8 members voting), the group felt the Pierce Saber Pumper met all of the team's
concerns and options for operational and design features. The company can deliver premier
service to maintain, repair, or provide parts for the vehicles, with service centers located in Iowa
and Wisconsin for work that City of Dubuque mechanics may not perform. The vehicle had the
engine and suspension, ensuring reliability and performance. The committee graded the quality
of the work and details of Pierce to be exceptional compared to the other vehicles. There will
also be design and appearance consistent with Ladder 511, i.e., paint color and schemes,
logos, step treads, etc..
DISCUSSION:
The committee made a recommendation regarding the purchase of 2 Pierce Engines.
The proposed cost of the Engines is $935,386 per engine with an opportunity to pay "in
full" at time of contract acceptance (city manager signature) for a savings of
approximately $90,000 on each vehicle for a final proposed contract cost on each
engine at $845,065. A quarterly cost increase of .75% is expected for August 1, 2025.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Options for procurement:
Option 1 — Prepay for both engines now
o Delivery: August —December 2027 (FY2028)
o Cost per engine: $845,065 + $20,000 contingency
o Total cost: $1,730,065 ($180,642 reduction for 2 engine pre -payment)
Option 2 — Purchase both engines without prepayment discount (traditional
method of signing the contracts now and making payment upon delivery in
2
Page 1206 of 1311
FY2028) Contract signature needed from the city manager (attached to this
memo request).
o Delivery: August —December 2027 (FY2028)
o Cost per engine: $935,386 + $20,000 contingency
o Total cost: $1,910,772 ($180,642 increase over Option 1)
The engines will be purchased through the Houston -Galveston Area Council H-GAC, a
nationwide government procurement service ensuring compliance with public
competitive bidding requirements.
Both engines have been budgeted through the FY2027 and FY2028 CIP process and
were debt funded abated by local option sales tax. The proposal is to prepay for both
engines in FY2026 for an estimated reduction of $180,642.
The debt would be issued in FY 26 instead of FY 27 and FY 28 thereby increasing debt by
$1,730,000 in FY26 and then reduce debt by $900,000 in FY27 and $950,000 in FY 28.
Estimated annual debt service on $1,730,000 is $134,000 which would begin in FY27 if
issued in spring 2026. The estimated debt service on the $900K in FY27 was $68,475 and
the estimated debt service on the $950K in FY28 was $73,692.

d. "Delivery" means the date Reliant is prepared to make physical possession of the Product available to the Customer.
e. "Acceptance" The Customer shall have the opportunity, as described in Section 9(b) below, to inspect the Product for
substantial conformance with the material Specifications; unless Reliant receives a Notice of Defect within the time
frame described in Section 9(b), the Product will be deemed to be in conformance with the Specifications and accepted
by the Customer.
2. Purpose. This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of Reliant's sale of the Product to the Customer.
3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will become effective on the date it is signed and approved by both Customer and Reliant
("Effective Date") and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, it will terminate upon the Customer's
Acceptance and payment in full of the Purchase Price.
4. Purchase and Pam. The Customer agrees to purchase the Product specified on Exhibit A for the total purchase price of
$1,690,130.00 ("Purchase Price"). Prices are in U.S. funds. Accepted forms of payment include cash, check, money order, wire
transfer, or ACH payment. Credit card or purchase card (P-Card) payments are not accepted.
5. Future Changes. Various state or federal regulatory agencies (e.g. NFPA, DOT, EPA) may require changes to the Specifications
and/or the Product and in any such event any resulting cost increases reasonably incurred to comply therewith will be added to
the Purchase Price to be paid by the Customer. In addition, any future drive train upgrades (engine, transmission, axles, etc.), or
any other specification changes have not been calculated into our annual increases and will be provided at additional cost. Reliant
will document and itemize any such price increases for the Customer. Manufacturer and/or supplier cost increases or surcharges
imposed after the time of contract execution, beyond the control of Reliant, that have not been calculated into the contract amount
will be documented and itemized as increases for the Customer on the Change Order.
6. Agreement Changes. The Customer may request that Reliant incorporate a change to the Products or the Specifications for the
Products by delivering a change order to Reliant; provided, however, that any such change order must be in writing and include
a description of the proposed change sufficient to permit Reliant to evaluate the feasibility of such change ("Change Order").
Within [ten (10) business days] of receipt of a Change Order, Reliant will inform the Customer in writing of the feasibility of the
Change Order, the earliest possible implementation date for the Change Order, of any increase or decrease in the Purchase Price
resulting from such Change Order, and of any effect on production scheduling or Delivery resulting from such Change Order.
Reliant shall not be liable to the Customer for any delay in performance or Delivery arising from any such Change Order. A Change
Order is only effective when counter -signed by Reliant's authorized representative.
7. Persistent Inflationary Environment Changes. If the Producer Price Index of Components for Manufacturing [www.bls.gov
Series ID: WPUID6112] ("PPI") has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 5.0% or more between the month Pierce
accepts our order ("Order Month") and the month 14 (fourteen) months prior to the then predicted Ready For Pickup date
("Evaluation Month"), then pricing may be updated in an amount equal to the increase in PPI over 5.0% for each year or
fractional year between the Order Month and the Evaluation Month. Reliant will document any such updated price for the
Customer's approval before proceeding and provide an option to cancel the order. The Customer shall have the right to
accept or cancel this Agreement without penalty if the PPI charges incurred pursuant to Sections 7 exceed five
Page 1208 of 1311
percent (5%) of the Purchase Price.

cancellation fee. The following charge schedule based on costs incurred may be applied: (a) 10% of the Purchase Price after order
is accepted and entered by Reliant; (b) 20% of the Purchase Price after completion of approval drawings, and; (c) 30% of the
Purchase Price upon any material requisition. The cancellation fee will increase accordingly as costs are incurred as the order
progresses through engineering and into manufacturing. Reliant endeavors to mitigate any such costs through the sale of such
Product to another purchaser; however, Customer shall remain liable for the difference between the Purchase Price and, if
applicable, the sale price obtained by Reliant upon sale of the Product to another purchaser, plus any costs incurred by Reliant to
conduct any such sale.
9. Delivery, Inspection and Acceptance. (a) Delivery. Delivery of the Product is scheduled to be within approximately
27.5 — 30.5 months of the Effective Date of this Agreement, F.O.B. The City of Dubuque, Iowa, Risk of loss shall pass to

be remedied by Reliant within thirty (30) days from the Notice of Defect. In the event Reliant does not receive a Notice of Defect
within fifteen (15) business days of Delivery, Product will be deemed to be in conformance with Specifications and accepted by
