Was the new Engine 313 Ferrara reassigned to Engine 304?

Yes.

Per, a Yonkers guy on another forum, possibly to evaluate it at a busier company.

Any truth that only one vendor, Ferrara, bid on this contract? If that's true, it looks very close to a Seagrave spec, surprised they didn't bid on it.

It says it was purchased under HGAC, Houston Galveston Area Cooperative, which eliminates traditional bidding. Municipalities can purchase off the co-op direct from the manufacturers with significant savings in bid costs. It is becoming very popular in NJ and most manufacturers participate.significant

There is also a spec going out for a 102' Ferrara Inferno rear mount that will be used to replace Ladder 74 .

YFD awarded Ferrara Fire Apparatus (under the HGAC, Houston Galveston Area Cooperative) to not only replace the Current Smeal Rearmount Ladder 74, with a New Ferrara 100ft. Rearmount, but they are also going with Ferrara Fire Apparatus to replace the current 2009 ALF Midmount Tower Ladder 75. Now with the first 2 Ferrara Ultra Pumpers going to Engine 303 and 304, and with 4 more Ferrara Ultra Pumpers being built for Yonkers (probably to replace Engine 307, 308, 310, and 312), I guess that Yonkers likes what they are getting (so far) from Ferrara.
