That Report OES 18-08 regarding single sourcing the acquisition of a vehicle exhaust extractor system be received; 2. That the use of the single sourcing process for the procurement of a fixed mounted vehicle exhaust extraction system for Fire Station #6 (Finch Ave.) City of Pickering Fire Services be approved and that Nederman Canada being the sole provider for this specific system be identified as the single source provider of the unit; and 3. That the appropriate officials of the City of Pickering be given authority to give effect thereto. Executive Summary: The vehicle exhaust extraction system at Station 6 (Finch Ave.) is due for replacement. In the interest of uniformity with our other 3 stations, it is the recommendation to proceed with the Nederman vehicle exhaust extractor system. Financial Implications: $35,000.00 Approved Capital Budget 2008 to be financed by property tax. Sustainability Implications: This project achieves the following sustainability objectives: Objective #1: Healthy Environment - the system by its very nature contributes to cleaner air; Objective #2: Healthy Society - creates a cleaner work environment; Objective #3: Healthy Economy - project to be conducted by an Ontario company; Objective #4: Responsible Development - not applicable to this project; Report OES 18-08 June 9, 2008 Subject: - Single Sourcing the purchase of a Vehicle Exhaust Extractor System Apparatus Page 2 " , , ~ l--; Objective #5: Responsible Consumption - this system utilizes an energy efficient electric motor. Background: In the 2008 Capital Budget Council has approved the purchase and installation of a replacement vehicle exhaust extrication system for Station 6. The existing system has become problematic and also costly to maintain. Our other three fire stations use a Nederman exhaust system that has proven to be a more tested design in operation, efficiency and maintenance. All of our vehicles have had the necessary vehicle modifications to utilize this system. It is my recommendation that in order to perhaps cut down on maintenance and modification costs, and in the interest of uniformity, that we proceed with the Nederman system. Nederman Canada is a division of Nederman International, a Swedish based company that is clearly the system of choice for Fire Station exhaust systems in Ontario. Attachments: 1.
