TOM to Buy New Fire Vehicle, Pump for Under $1M
At Wednesday's Town Board meeting, town officials passed a resolution to act on last month's fire commissioners vote.
The Mamaroneck Town Board acted on June's Fire Commissioners vote yesterday, passing a resolution to buy $940,000 worth of fire equipment from two separate contractors.
The town will purchase a new fire pump from KME Equipment and a new rescue vehicle from IT Proliner — both companies are private businesses specializing in fire-apparatus sales. The new rescue truck will be used to aid serious automobile accidents, not extinguish fires.
"Both bids were below our original estimate," said Town Administrator Stephen Altieri. The town initially predicted the equipment would cost over $1 million.
