This apparatus will require necessary tools and equipment that will require custom mounting
and fitting in order to ready it for service. A portion of the funds will be required for the
purchase and installation of this equipment.
Discussion: This pumper rescue apparatus, as approved in the 2020 Capital
Budget and bid under Q2020-5, will be primarily utilized to respond to emergency incidents
throughout the City that include structure fires, automobile accidents, medical emergencies,
industrial alarms, and specialized rescues. It is designed to be highly maneuverable, carry
1900 liters of water, and has a pump capacity rating of 7,000 liters per minute.
The estimated time to have this apparatus built and in-service is 18 months after the
successful respondent is awarded. This time allows Pickering Fire Services’ and Operations
staff to carefully oversee the construction of the apparatus and ensure it is fully operational
before it is deemed ready for service. This includes installing any additional tool mounts and
equipment mounts not included in the purchasing contract, and training Operations and Fire
Services staff on the apparatus’ maintenance and use.
When the apparatus is ready for service it will be added to the Pickering Fire Services vehicle
fleet. It will replace City vehicle 532, the 2005 Smeal pumper rescue apparatus which is past it’s
15 year service life and is overdue for replacement.
Major tools and equipment required for purchase include Hurst eDraulic rescue tools, fire hose,
nozzles, and a thermal imaging camera.
Specifications for this apparatus were developed based on consultation with Purchasing staff,
City Operations staff, the Fire Services Joint Health and Safety Committee, and Training
Division staff.
Submissions have been received to the quotation call, which closed on March 3, 2021 with two
respondents submitting quotations for this project. Fire Services staff have reviewed the
previous work experience of Safetek, the references provided and the bid is deemed
acceptable.
Upon careful examination of all quotations and relevant documents received, the Fire Services
Department recommends the acceptance of the RFQ submitted by Safetek for RFQ No. Q2020-5
in the amount of $1,045,551.00 (HST included) and that the total net project cost of $999,554.00
be approved.

The Corporation of the City of Pickering
By-law No. /21
Being a by-law to authorize the Supply and
Delivery of a Fire Pumper Rescue
Replacement project in the City of Pickering
and the issuance of debentures in the amount
of $990,000.00.
Whereas Section 11 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a lower-tier
municipality may pass by-laws respecting matters within the spheres of jurisdiction
described in that Section; and,
Whereas Subsection 401(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
municipality may incur a debt for municipal purposes, whether by borrowing money or in
any other way; and,
Whereas Subsection 401(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended, provides that a
lower-tier municipality in a regional municipality does not have the power to issue
debentures; and,
Whereas The Regional Municipality of Durham has the sole authority to issue
debentures for the purposes of its lower-tier municipalities including The Corporation of
the City of Pickering (the “City”); and,
Whereas the Council of the City wishes to proceed with debenture financing for the
Supply and Delivery of a Fire Pumper Rescue Replacement project; and,
Whereas before authorizing the Supply and Delivery of a Fire Pumper Rescue
Replacement project, the Council of the City had the Treasurer update the City’s Annual
Repayment Limit, the Treasurer calculated the estimated annual amount payable in
respect of such project and determined that such annual amount would not cause the
City to exceed the updated limit and therefore, Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT)
approval is not required as per Section 401 of the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended,
and the regulations made thereunder;
And whereas after determining that Local Planning Appeal Tribunal approval is not
required, the Council of the City approved report FIR 02-21 on the date hereof and
approved the Supply and Delivery of a Fire Pumper Rescue Replacement project in the
City of Pickering;
Attachment #2 to Report FIR 02-21
