<br />and re- advertise for a vehicle similar to the ones presently being used.
<br />Mr. McMahon asked about the current construction of the ambulances,
<br />and Chief Brassell indicated that they were aluminum models, and
<br />the models specified in the bids were either part or all steel which
<br />considerably reduced its life expectancy versus the all aluminum
<br />models. He indicated that the ambulances were in excellent condition
<br />after four years. Mr. McMahon asked if the Fire Department was
<br />planning to replace the chassis on one of the vehicles, and the
<br />Chief indicated that that was their decision and one more vehicle
<br />would be advertised if the Board approved. Upon a motion made
<br />by Mr. McMahon, seconded by Mr. Kernan, and carried, the bids
<br />received were rejected and permission was granted to re- advertise
<br />the bids and replace the chassis on one of the present vehicles.
