CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
2025 Overview
Type: Tower 3 Equipment
Department: Engineering
Useful Life: Varies
Category: Replacement & Procurement of
Equipment
Contact: Lt. Carr
Description:
The District is procuring several new pieces of equipment, primarily for extrication, to
replace and supplement existing equipment on Tower 3. Budgeted cost is $27,100.
Justification:
Ensuring that District firefighter/paramedics are properly equipped to respond to
emergency situations is critical to service delivery. As these emergencies continue to grow
in number and evolve each year, it is essential to ensure all District vehicles are equipped
with necessary tools to provide the best possible service. This is in alignment with the
following high priority strategic goals: explore options to expand health, well-being and risk
reduction initiatives for employees, continue to follow and fund the fleet replacement schedule
and plans.
Budget Impact/Other:
Per GFOA best practices, operating impacts may be classified into one of three elements (or
a combination of the three) based on the nature of the purchase: 1) increased revenues, 2)
increased expenditures, and 3) additional cost savings. The procurement of replacement
equipment will provide the District additional cost savings immediately after purchase.
This coincides with regular maintenance costs, as well as a reduction in liability incurred
through old or ineffective equipment. Increased expenditures in this category are minor
and not recurring.
