Township Council Meeting — Packet

127-26 April 28, 2026 RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE USED FIRE APPARATUS WHEREAS, the West Orange Fire Department (the “Department”) has been maintaining an aging fleet of fire apparatuses which are regularly placed out of service for maintenance and mechanical failure for lengthy periods of time, creating the need for reserve apparatuses; and WHEREAS, the Department does not currently maintain a reserve aerial device and had requested, through capital appropriation, the funding necessary to purchase a new custom-built fire apparatus (a “quint” with both an aerial ladder and pump); and WHEREAS, by the time funding became available, the cost to build a new quint exceeded the appropriated amount and instead, a new engine/pump was ordered with the intent to search for and purchase a previously-owned quint with the remaining funds; and WHEREAS, the Department has sourced a used quint from the Township of Deptford, New Jersey (“Deptford”) and has completed due diligence, concluding that the apparatus is mechanically satisfactory for its age and wear and would be operationally sufficient for the Department for at least 10 years; and WHEREAS, the apparatus is a 2006 Seagrave 75’ “Meanstick” Quint Fire Apparatus (55k miles, Detroit 60 Series w/Allison Transmission, 1500gpm Waterous pump, 500-gallon tank); and WHEREAS, Deptford has agreed to sell the apparatus to the Department “as is” for two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00) with no guarantees, representations, warrantees or the like and the Department agrees to indemnify and hold Deptford harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or liabilities related to the Department’s use and operation of the apparatus; and WHEREAS, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40A:11-5(2), this contract can be negotiated and awarded by the Township Council without public advertising for bids because the contract will be made and entered into with another municipality of the State of New Jersey. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Township Council of West Orange that the purchase of said apparatus be approved. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Township Purchasing Agent is hereby authorized to arrange to pay for the foregoing in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Order on behalf of the Township of West Orange with funds approved by the Chief Financial Officer.
