Finance Committee - 9/5/2018 Page 2
Mayor Donchess

So we have the 2019 Ford Police Interceptor, is there any discussion or questions about that?

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor. If one of you folks could answer, the question is before us, but there are other vehicles
that will come up later this evening too. But looking at the mileage, it is a 2007, it has 95,000 miles on it which
| agree needs to be replaced. That is about the life expectancy, particularly a front line vehicle such as used

like that. But could you just touch base, what is the Department policy when these vehicles should be cycled
through and to seek for replacement that they come up?

Mr. Sojka

We actually look to try to replace when they get up to around 100,000 miles. Usually 10 years is a magic
number before we start seeing a lot of rust issues and stuff like that. But if it is still in good shape at 10 years
we will definitely keep it. So we try to keep it at the 100,000 mark, try to keep it a little bit under that or at that
point before we start seeing a lot more repairs to these cars.

Alderman O’Brien

Thank you.

ON THE QUESTION

Alderman O’Brien

Yes, so this one is a 2014 and it has 84,000 but the 84,000 is getting close to the 100,000 mile on this
particular vehicle?

Mr. Sojka

Yes realistically we probably wouldn’t see the vehicles until the beginning of next year sometime at that point.
Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor.

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

| saw that there was a pretty good trade-in for that particular vehicle, that was $4,300.00 compared to the other
ones.

DEPARTMENT 152 FIRE; GRANT FUNDS

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

Chief Rhodes is here. We just reached your item Chief but since it is a big item and since we have a grant,
maybe you should come up and just briefly explain the good work you did in saving the City a lot of money.

Brian Rhodes, Nashua Fire Chief

Good evening, thank you, Brian Rhodes Fire Chief. So this request this evening is as you know, the Board has
previously approved a Federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant in the amount of $650,000.00 for a multi-
purpose vehicle that will replace 3 vehicles that we will remove from future CERF liability to the City.

Historically when the City has purchased fire apparatus, we pre-pay and by pre-paying we achieve a savings
from the interest that accrues on the vehicle. In this particular case, we will be saving $28,500.00 if we pre-pay
the vehicle versus waiting until the end, upon delivery. So in conversation with the CFO’s office, they are in full
agreement of this plan. We are looking to save that $28,500.00 and put that into the actual vehicle instead of
just paying it to the manufacturer.

Mayor Donchess

Alright, that sounds good. Are there any questions or comments?

Alderman Harriott-Gathright

You are getting matching funds or something on this one?

Chief Rhodes

With the Federal AFG Grant they say it is a 10% match but it isn’t a 10% match, | think it comes out to, my
math and | think your math would be $65,000.00 but it actually isn’t, it is $59,000.00 and change, the way the
Government computes it.

Mayor Donchess
So we are getting a $650,000.00 vehicle in essence for $59,000.00.

Chief Rhodes

Well the reality of it is we are getting closer to a $700,000.00 vehicle for the $650,000.00 for the $59,000.00
investment.

Mayor Donchess

Of local money.
Chief Rhodes

Of local money correct and we anticipate a minimum of 15 years before replacement.

Mayor Donchess

Any questions or discussion?
Alderman O’Brien

Thank you Mr. Mayor. Chief, as a former employee | don’t want to get too much but | compliment you and your
staff for looking at an item such as this and combining different vehicles and getting into one vehicle which is
fiscally prudent to the tax payer and will definitely assist this Department. To explain that further, could you say
what this vehicle is going to do because you mentioned technical equipment which | have an understanding
on, but could you explain to the people at home what this vehicle will be capable of doing and how much of an
asset it will be to this community?

Chief Rhodes

Absolutely and thank you for your kind words Alderman. So currently we provide hazardous materials
response to 19 communities that are in the Souhegan Valley. All of those neighboring communities pay
basically a stipend for all the things it takes to run a hazardous materials team; equipment and physicals and
training and there is a lot that goes into it. So that is a huge bonus to us as a community.

Right now we have two vehicles that are assigned to the Hazardous Materials Response and we have one
vehicle that is actually, well two of the vehicles are repurposed. One of the vehicles is | believe it was a
Bellavance old style hackney body beer delivery truck that we are still using. The second vehicle was a
commercial cab and chassis that started out life as one of the water supply vehicles that we had back in the
day and was turned into an air supply unit in-house by the mechanical division.

What that gives us is for fires which even today more so than before when Alderman O’Brien was there, we
really would with the onset of the cancer issue that is popping up in firefighters and all that, we are really

pushing self-contained breathing apparatus so we are using air quicker. That vehicle comes at fires that are
second alarm or greater. The problem we have now, as you can imagine, so that takes three employees to
bring these three trucks to an incident. Our plan is to incorporate that all into one vehicle. So we become a
more efficient organization but we can also get that equipment there much quicker.

And again, the equipment that we are replacing is getting rather long in the tooth sort to speak and like any
new vehicle we will get the warranty that comes with it. So we should have a few years here of very limited
mechanical expenditures for it.

Alderman Klee

Thank you. Chief Rhodes, one of the documents that | was looking at, the proposal and the bid, | was a little
confused when | was looking at it, | even wrote myself a note. | must be misinterpreting it but it talks about that
the item is $691,541.00 and then it says minus $13,000.00 for a trade-in allowance for the 1999 and it comes
up with $650,000.00 my math is different. | don’t come up with $650,000.00 at the bottom line. Is that also
including that $59,000.00 you were talking about?

Chief Rhodes

No that is the bottom line purchase price of the vehicle, $650,000.00. That price they do not reflect it in there
because we are not there yet, of the pre-pay option. That’s where that money doesn’t show up. It shows yes
that we are trading in two vehicles to them and we are going to repurpose the third vehicle.

Alderman Klee

Ok so the $650,000.00 is what we are paying for if we do the pre-pay and the $691,000.00 less the $13,000.00
would be if we didn’t do the pre-pay is that correct?

Chief Rhodes

At the end of the day we are paying $650,000.00 for a vehicle that is worth close to $691,000.00 and change.
Alderman Klee

Thank you.

Alderman Caron

Thank you, | think this is great work that your staff has gone to be able to get this kind of a grant of
$650,000.00. | think this is really good for the City and it just shows that we are looking every place we can to
get money from so kudos to you and your staff Chief.

Chief Rhodes

l’ll pass that on, thank you.

Alderman Caron

You're welcome.

Mayor Donchess

Thank you Chief for saving us this money and improving the Department and thank you for coming tonight.

ON THE QUESTION

Mayor Donchess

We have Justin Kates, Emergency Management Director if you haven’t met him. Maybe Justin go ahead and
explain the idea.

Justin Kates, Emergency Management Director

Yes so this is a funded project through the Department of Homeland Security. We received this grant a few
years ago and have been having some challenges with the State who the funding passes through on the
specific model that we were authorized to purchase. But what we were able to agree upon was the model that
is before you this evening, it is an inflatable air shelter that can be set up stand-alone from any of our vehicles
or any of our buildings. This can be used as a command post for a longer term incident, whether it be
requested by the Fire Department, the Police Department, EMS, or any other organization.

It can also be used as a location to set up a medical treatment area for a special event or any sort of location
that doesn’t have some sort of a physical space for us to utilize. We can use that for medical treatment triage

or as an area to keep people warm or cool during extreme heat or extreme cold. So this is no match required
and we hope to start this process off of the purchase as soon as possible to get this thing in service this year.

Alderman O’Brien

Yes Mr. Kates in going over the specs | didn’t really see the size, maybe | didn’t pour over it. But what is the
capacity and the size that we are talking about?

Mr. Kates

| would say the closest thing that you could probably compare it to would be from the one that we are going to
be purchasing, it is probably from this column over to the wall, probably no more than 10 feet tall. Itis an
inflatable system so what it will end up doing is that it comes with a pump so it could be plugged into the wall
and you could inflate it that way or you could use SCBA bottles and attach those and use it to inflate. The time
that it takes to set that area up is no more than 5 or 6 minutes.

Alderman O’Brien

And follow up Mr. Mayor?

Mayor Donchess

Yes.

Alderman O’Brien

Would you not agree that, and I’ve had 15 years as a Deputy Chief, we could immediately set up a command

center in the early stages but when you get to a protracted incident that is going to take days, such as the
flooding we had in one of our neighborhoods several years ago. We were there for several days after. You
