The Chesley Fire station is getting a new pumper truck.
Council approved the purchase at its September 23rd meeting, and the Chesley fire board approved it as well.
A staff report says the municipality put the call out for truck tenders on September 13th. There was one vendor who responded. Commercial Emergency Equipment Co for a price of $715,580 plus HST.
The fire station wants a few pieces of equipment added to the truck. They say it would bring the cost of the truck to no more than the $760,000.00 initially identified within the capital budget.
Due to a shared service agreement with the Township of Chatsworth, they’ll also be paying about 30 per cent of the cost of the truck.
Arran-Elderslie Fire & Emergency Services consists of the Tara Station 70, Paisley Station 80 and Chesley Station 90.
