RE: Air Bag Replacement

Chief,
After doing the yearly needs assessment, it was determined the air bags on all ladders were at
end of life. After researching our options, the equipment committee and I had a couple

demonstrations with several manufacturers, and agreed that Paratech air bags will suit our needs.

1 recommend we go forward with the purchase of 4 sets for all ladders. Enclosed is a quote and
sole source letter from HSE, the local vendor and NH distributor.

Total Price including shipping is $21,285.48
