A complete rebuild of the departmentÂs existing pumper would cost approximately $400,000, Thomas told council. The labour costs for such a project mount quickly, as the truck Âhas to be stripped to its frame, and rebuilt with all new materials.
Rebuilding would also take about six months, which means the city would have to rent another truck during that time, which would further add to that $400,000 price tag, Thomas said.
A tender to purchase the truck was posted on the city website, as well as on MERXÂa website dedicate primarily for government tendersÂand Âonly one firm responded to the tender.Â
That firm was Carrier Centres Emergency Vehicles, which quoted a price of $588,319.33, plus applicable taxes.
