2 <br /> Capital Improvement Program Committee <br /> Minutes <br /> February 4, 2016 <br /> Present: Rodney Collins,Dawn Thayer,Andrew Gottlieb, <br /> Terrie Cook, Chuck Gasior <br /> Meeting Called to Order by Chairman Collins at 3:09 p.m. <br /> Mashpee Town Hall, Administrative Conference Room <br /> APPOINTMENTS &HEARINGS <br /> Town Hall/Selectmen/Town Manager: <br /> In the Town Hall Town Manager/Selectmen category two hybrid vehicles are proposed to <br /> be funded for the town fleet vehicles at a cost of$48,694. Cost estimates procured from <br /> a county bid detail the intermediate size Ford Fusion S Sedan at a cost of$24,347 per <br /> vehicle. This type of vehicle supports criteria under the green community program. <br /> The vehicles are intended to be assigned to the Board of Health and Building <br /> Department. <br /> Due to funding constraints,the vehicles were removed from the FYI capital program. <br /> Fire: <br /> Tom Rullo,Fire Chief was in attendance to request the CIP consider the purchase of a <br /> New Rescue Pumper for a total estimated sum of$650,000. Chief Rullo indicated the <br /> capital project was moved to FYI from FYI 8. The preliminary cost of the vehicle is <br /> $475,000, and with equipment and training projected to cost$175,000 the total cost is <br /> $650,000. <br /> Training is a requirement at the factory for truck acceptance. With the last truck purchase <br /> there was no staff training provided. Only one employee was sent to Florida for <br /> acceptance training. For operational safety,training is required. <br /> Currently,the Fire Department owns a 1999 E-one Rescue Pumper. This vehicle is <br /> considered to be fair to good in terms of reliability. There is minor body decay. <br /> However, the vehicle is approaching its limited first run rescue capability. The 1999 <br /> vehicle is planned to be stationed at Fire Substation 2. <br /> Last year,the Fire Department expended$27,000 in repairs related to the 1999 E-one <br /> pumper. It generally takes nine months to one year to build a custom fire truck and with <br /> the town meeting process it is nearly two years before the new engine could be placed <br /> into service. <br />
