FERGUS – Centre Wellington Council has approved a request for proposal to purchase a new fire truck.
A report presented at yesterday’s council meeting said the purpose of the RFP was to purchase one new pumper truck with enclosed side pump panel for the Fergus Fire station.
The request for proposal has been awarded to Dependable Emergency Vehicles, at an upset limit of just over $1.1 million and staff will be directed to fund the shortfall of $167,375 from the General Capital Reserve.
Centre Wellington Fire Chief Tom Mulvey says the department also intends to retain the current P-41 and have it rehabilitated to provide training and reserve capacity.
Council approved the recommendation.
