ITEM:
Authorize the fire department to purchase the following from Osage Ambulance via Emergency
Services Supply, the authorized Osage Ambulance sales vendor for Kansas:
1) New 2022 RAM 4500 4 x 4 ambulance chassis.
2) Complete refurbishment and remounting of the ambulance patient module from an
existing Salina Fire Department ambulance to the new RAM 4500 ambulance chassis.
3) One Stryker Power Pro power EMS patient cot.
BACKGROUND:
The Salina Fire Department has an established ambulance fleet replacement schedule, typically
replacing an ambulance after 7 years of service. Typically a fire department ambulance chassis will
have at least 100,000 miles on it upon reaching the 7 year mark, with an average of 125,000-135,000
miles. Data suggests that maintenance cost and frequency increase on emergency vehicles with over
100,000 miles.
One ambulance replacement is approved in the 2022 Sub-CIP budget. Historically the fire department
would draft specifications and request ambulance manufactures to submit competitive bids for new
construction of an ambulance following the City of Salina purchasing guidelines. However, three years
ago the fire department began an ambulance refurbishment and remounting program.
The remounting process consists of removal of the patient module from the existing chassis and a
complete refurbishment of the module including paint, electrical, interior and exterior lighting, flooring
and HVAC. The refurbished module is then mounted to the new chassis. The end result is essentially
a new ambulance at an average cost savings of 30% versus a new build custom ambulance. In
addition, the fire department includes the purchase of a new, Stryker Power Pro EMS cot with each
ambulance purchase to maintain the manufacture recommended EMS cot replacement schedule. If
approved, this will be the fourth remounted ambulance completed by Osage Ambulance for the Salina
Fire Department.
The Salina Fire Department requests authorization to remount an existing ambulance patient module
following the City of Salina's single source purchasing policy referencing Professional Services
guidelines. The policy guideline states "For a continuation of an existing project or continuity of similar
services in which past performance is considered acceptable and knowledge of the specific work has
been demonstrated"
Additional factors included for consideration for authorization to follow the single source policy:
The fire department Emergency Vehicle Technician (EVT) is authorized by Osage
Ambulance to perform warranty work. This prevents the ambulance from having to return
to the Osage factory in the event any warranty repair is necessary.

• Osage Ambulance has remounted three previous Salina Fire Department ambulances and
we have not experienced any mechanical or operational issues that would lead us to
question the quality, craftsmanship or professionalism of Osage Ambulance.
• Remounting of an Osage Ambulance patient module by any other vendor voids the lifetime
structural and corrosion warranty provided by Osage Ambulance on all of their ambulance
modules.
• Allows for continuation of our established standardized ambulance chassis fleet and
patient module configuration. The current ambulance fleet consists of seven ambulances
originally built and purchased from Osage Ambulance beginning in 2013.
FISCAL NOTE:
$200,000 is approved in the 2022 Sub-CIP budget for the ambulance purchase. The budgeted amount
includes all costs associated to purchase the new chassis as well as the remount process including a
new Stryker Power Pro power EMS cot. This cost is reimbursed by the inter -local agreement with
Saline County. The cost of the fire departments 2021 ambulance remount was $183,600.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1) Approve the request to allow the fire department to purchase 1) new RAM 4500 4 x 4
ambulance chassis 2) complete refurbishment and remounting of the ambulance
patient module on the new chassis 3) purchase of one new Stryker Power Pro EMS
power cot from Emergency Service Supply/Osage Ambulance with a total amount of
$191,100.
2) Deny the request to purchase 1) new RAM 4500 4 x 4 ambulance chassis 2) complete
refurbishment and remounting of the ambulance patient module on the new chassis 3)
purchase of one new Stryker Power Pro EMS power cot from Emergency Service
Supply/Osage Ambulance with a total amount of $191,100.
The fire department administration is recommending action item #1.
Attachments:
1) Correspondence from Osage Ambulance related to the price increase compared to 2021.
2) Specification of the refurbishment and remount details and an all-inclusive quote from

Shane,
Please seethe attached letter explaining what's going on with Ram chassis/ government incentive pricing.
Also, for comparison purposes, I ran a quote for a new build on estimated 2026 pricing based on the below parameters:
• Took the last new build from 2018 (J2634)
• Updated to 2023 pricing (current pricing which includes larger increase due to supplier costs)
• Add 3.5% annual increase from 2023 to 2026 (% always fluctuates but more typical of an annual increase)
• Stryker Cot & Power Load NOT included in this pricing.... would be separate. Floor plate + installation of Power
Load included
Pricing on 2023 Model Year estimated $237k
Pricing on 2026 Model year estimated $262k
Please review & let me know of any questions. Appreciate it Shane
