congrats gerry good luck with it be safe,

Whats the discusion about Seagrave rigging the bid? Crimnson won the bid and built a rig that did not fit in the station!I think the discusion should be directed to the person that signed off on the 116" height of the rig.

east west made the spec,crimson just built what east west spec.and no one signed off on it yet.and the apron work will be started this week,all in all its a nice rig and we will signe off on it soon,we always stated the apron was a problem and planned with the village to get replaced so its no suprise to us,but the village is upset east west did not figure this 5% grade to the height,you pay for what you get.

Down time is critical to all depts, even those with plenty of spare apparatus. Just because a dealers shop is closer does not mean you will get your rig back faster. If the close shop has fewer mechanics/technicians, if they have fewer feild personnel or if they dont stock major parts. A larger shop thats 90 minutes farther, but fully stocks parts will be able to fix your rig and have it back to you before FedEx arrives at the closer dealer with the parts you need. Also larger dealers often have the ability to loan spare rigs, particularly if yours has a major issue.

The seagrave shop is 24 miles to the center of Tarrytown, another dealers shop (not in Westchester) is 16 miles.

ON THE CLOCK OR OFF THE CLOCK?#$$$$

If you write the specs so only one entity can bid you run afoul of state law and can be accused of "bid rigging". Saying that only Seagrave can meet the spec is presumptive on our part and we have to give other vendors the opportunity to either meet the spec or decline to bid.

get your facts rite first!

Maybe the departments truck committee should learn how to use the tape measure also, that's why the have trips to the factory to review your apparatus before it's completed. They are as much to blame because they are suppose to know the ins & outs of their station the new truck would go into.

do you actually think we didnt c,mon.be real,the truck is 116 inches the door is 119 1/2 ,we had this issue with the last rig also.maybe east west needs you tape measure they got paid good money to make sure this did not happen,we went to the factory for review on flat ground its 116.we told east west the angle would ad atleast 5 inches backing in and east west said no problem it will fit ,we no the ins&out so you need to take it easy,you need to look at east west my man and the mayor and trustees ,the fd ben telling them to be carefull and looks what happens,

Pretty harsh statements "rigged a bid" (in another prior post), "advicate breaking state law".

I thought the Company from day 1 stated you needed to be very careful with the size of the rig?

Whats done is done, and to the taxpayers it looks like the village took control and screwed it up.

thank you spin the wheel,size was always an issue ,you are 100% correct,rite on target.

capt nechis there were no bids rigged the first time ,wow ,we talked to alot of dealers at first and alot could not fit a new truck in the station,and seagrave was able to.and also east west stated to the village baord that they should go with round 1 as you say,the rigged bid seagrave! and now east west over looked what we have ben saying the hole time the angle of the drive way, the truck is 116 inches and the door is 118 u do the math.

You mean the seagrave they rigged the bid to try and get? Having reviewed that spec it was clear that only one dealer could bid on that spec. And the NYS Comptroller says thats illegal. You can purchase from a sole source but their are parameters, that they did not meet.

It took a lot of political courage for the board to follow the law.

yes east west did,we stated and made it very clear that there was a 5 degree angle of departure in and out of the station.as we mentioned back in 2007.

the garage door was raised and widened to its max back in the late 80,s to fit the e one pumper,we have the oldest and smallest station in town.no room to grow,

nice job capt,looks good best of luck with it.

RIP chief you will be missed by all of us,

on the back burner for now waiting for the motor to get back from rebuild its a v12 gas hard to get parts for it.

end of april chief.
