Mitchell, Interim Deputy Fire Chief RE: PR—Siddons-Martin Emergency Group Introduction: The Port Arthur Fire Department is asking City Council to ratify the payment of$32,608.91 to Siddons-Martin Emergency Group. This expenditure is vital for maintaining the operational integrity of our emergency response fleet. These funds cover essential specialized maintenance and equipment repairs that ensure our first responders can arrive at scenes safely and without delay. Background: Fire Ladder Truck No. 1 (Equipment No. 1590), a Pierce 1,500 GPM frontline ladder truck assigned to Fire Station No. 1, is the only ladder truck currently in frontline service for the City of Port Arthur. During inspection and servicing, it was determined that the apparatus required more extensive repairs than originally anticipated in order to remain safe, compliant with applicable safety standards, and operational for emergency response. Given the critical nature of this apparatus and the City's need to maintain an uninterrupted emergency response capability, the vehicle was delivered to Siddons-Martin Emergency Group in Port Arthur, Texas. Siddons-Martin is an authorized service provider with specialized expertise in Pierce apparatus and has a longstanding service relationship with the Fire Department. The necessary repairs and maintenance were completed, restoring the vehicle to safe operating condition. The total invoice amount is $32,608.91. Budget Impact: Funds are available in the Fire Department Motor Vehicle Maintenance Account No. 001-19- 047-5319-00-30-000. Recommendation: The Fire Department recommends approval of this resolution to ensure our fleet is ready and capable of responding when called upon. Timely payment is critical to upholding our commitment to public safety and avoiding service disruptions. We respectfully ask for your support in ratifying these necessary resources for our department.
