Huron East
agrees to
custom cab
for new
pumper'
Aaron Jacklin
Despite previous controversy over
whether to go with a commercial or
custom cab and chassis for a new pumper
truck, Huron East council decided at its
July 3 meeting to accept a proposal for a
Custom Cab Pumper from ResQTech
Systems Inc. for $306,000.
The commercial chassis would have
been $283,000.
Fire Chief and CEMC Marty Bedard's
formal report to council outlined how he
and the district chief reviewed a list of
proposals and shortened the list to the
trucks from Metalfab Ltd., ResQTech
Systems Inc. and Darch Fire.
These proposals were compared and
reviewed by the Seaforth Station Truck
Committee, which includes Bedard, the
district chief, the deputy district chief and
the captains.
This committee decided the ResQTech
custom proposal best "met the, needs of
the station.”
Bedard summarized the reasons to
council, citing a 10 -year plumbing
warranty, a more spacious hose bed and
larger compartment sizes when compared
to the other propo ls.
The original R sQTech custom proposal
had been for $ 9,500.
"Include in that were two plant
visitations at $3,500 each," Bedard told
council.
"We thought we didn't need two
visititations, that one would be sufficient.
That knocked $3,500 off the price."
McKillop Coun. Bill Siemon asked what
the plant visits were.
Bedard said that in a plant visit, you go
to the plant before the truck is finished,
examine the truck and if anything isn't
right, you can tell them and they can fix it
before they finish making the truck.
Siemon said the company should do its
