appellant is not satisfied with the response, the appellant may then protest to the Board of Aldermen, who will
render a final decision for the City. No award protests will be heard by the Board of Aldermen unless Bidder
has followed the appeal process.

If an appeal is granted, the full amount of the posted bond or security will be returned to the appellant. If the
appeal is denied or not upheld, a claim may be made against the bond for expenses suffered by the City because
of the unsuccessful appeal. The City is not liable for any costs, expenses, attorney's fees, loss of income, or other
damages sustained by the appellant in a bid appeal process.

Board of Aldermen Page 10
July 12, 2016

Alderman Cookson

And then further to the west you would only have Engines 3 and 6 that would respond; Conant Street
and...

Chief Galipeau

Those are the first two companies, yes.
Alderman Cookson

Would you have any other companies...who would be the next after those two to respond to something
in the southwest quadrant?

Chief Galipeau

The next company in would be Engine Company 2 out of Lake Street and that has about an 8 to 12
minute response into that southwest area and that’s even in good conditions.

Alderman Cookson

The one other comment that you had made during that meeting on the 27" was that this was especially
during the cold months that you had to keep the truck in the bay. What do you do during the warmer
months?

Chief Galipeau

Actually the truck is in the bay all of the time. | was referring to if Engine 3, our pumper truck were to
break down on a long weekend we can’t bring the spare pumper truck down there and park it out front
because it has water in it and it will freeze up so we are forced to call a mechanic in to fix the problem at
that time. With the additional bay and the ability to bring a spare truck down there we could get through
that extended weekend or even just through an overnight during the cold months and get the mechanic
in during regular business hours to fix the problem.

Alderman Cookson

So during warmer months would you leave the truck out and still be able to bring in a mechanic during
normal business hours and not pay that premium cost?

Chief Galipeau

That has not been a practice of ours because we carry a lot of very expensive equipment; we have
electronics on the vehicles and we prefer to keep them inside on shore power when they are not being
used.

Alderman Deane

My only question is and it’s not even a question, | don’t understand; were there persistent problems that
required people to be called in colder months for long weekends? That whole thing just sounds
interesting. The other thing is when Flatley was down there and everything went before the Planning
Board maybe we should have knocked on their door and ask them to help contribute to the expansion of
the station since their development was expanding the area. | understand that fire house is inadequate.
