Jim Purcell's ninety days is on September 25, 2011. A2. Fire Chief Melnikas At the Board's meeting on June 13, 2011, the Town Manager informed the Board that Fire Chief Melnikas was entitled to receive a 2% increase per his contract also but the Board has to vote to approve the increase for him. Selectmen Smedile, Gordon and Lanen said they would like to hold off on this until the board received the appraisal on the fire truck. When this was settled and they were satisfied with the results then they could revisit the 2% increase for the fire chief. Enclosed in your packet is the new appraisal for the Fire Pump Truck at $462,500. Now that this has been clarified the Board should revisit the 2% increase for Chief Melnikas. 0 Page 1 Johnson, Adele From: Purcell, James Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2011 10:11 AM To: Johnson, Adele Subject: Fw: Fire Truck Appraisal Adele.

Gordon; Rosemary Smedile, Licensing Chairman; Daniel Lanen; Donald Stewart; and Interim Town Manager James Purcell. Rosemary Smedile made a MOTION, seconded by William Gordon, to move into Executive Session to discuss Litigation and to consider the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property. Roll Call vote: William Gordon yes, Rosemary Smedile yes, Donald Stewart yes, Daniel Lanen yes, Tracy Watson yes. Vote approved 5-0. Chairman Tracy Watson declared that an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the Selectmen. Purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property Interim Town Manager James Purcell informed the Board of a Mass Works Infrastructure Program that provides grant funding for publicly owned infrastructure including, but not limited to sewers, utility extensions, streets, roads, curb -cuts, parking facilities, site preparation, demolition, pedestrian walkways, streetscape, and water treatment systems. The Mass Works Infrastructure Program will reduce the burden on municipalities and streamlining will reduce municipal grant management burdens as well. Public Works Director Bruce Thibodeau says that this grant program will cover 100% of the Osgood Street sewer project including design, construction and betterments. This is a win, win situation for the Town and for the Orit Goldstein, owner of Osgood Landing. The Town needs the cooperation of Orit Goldstein on this project and Bruce believes that she will want to cooperate which will also enhance development and expansion of her property. This Grant needs to be submitted by September 8, 2011 and from that date the Town has 120 days for plan designs. Bruce will set up a meeting with Orit Goldstein to inform her of the program and to acquire a small portion of property. The Town also needs a 2/3 vote at a Town Meeting. The Board needs to make two motions and vote to move forward with this grant program. Daniel Lanen made a MOTION, seconded by William Gordon, to authorize Interim Town Manager James Purcell to submit a grant application to the Massworks Infrastructure Program for the Osgood Street Sewer and Pump Station Project. Roll Call vote: William Gordon yes, Rosemary Smedile yes, Donald Stewart yes, Daniel Lanen yes, Tracy Watson yes. Vote approved 5-0. Daniel Lanen made a MOTION, seconded by William Gordon, to authorize the Town of North Andover to accept state funding for the Osgood Street Sewer and Pump Station Project and agree to implement the Massworks Infrastructure Program requirements associated therewith. Roll Call vote: William Gordon yes, Rosemary Smedile yes, Donald Stewart yes, Daniel Lanen yes, Tracy Watson yes. Vote approved 5-0. Litigation Rosemary Smedile said that she received a voice mail message from Appraiser Gregory Cunha for the Pierce Pumper Engine 2. When he appraised the fire truck he was not aware of the extra options that were added to the truck. His appraisal was based on the base price at $430,000 not counting extras. Selectmen decided to have Interim Town Manager James Purcell contact Mr. Cunha and ask him for a new appraisal including the extra bells and whistles. ADJOURMENT: William Gordon made a MOTION, seconded by Daniel Lanen, to move out of Executive Session. Vote approved 5-0. Respectfully submitted, Adele J. Johnson, Administrative Secretary r BOARD OF SELECTMEN EXECUTIVE MINUTES EXECUTIVE SESSION: The Executive Session convened at 6:00 p.m. CONFIDENTIAL Not A Public Document July 25, 2011 ATTENDANCE: The following were present: Chairman Daniel Lanen; Clerk William F. Gordon; Tracy Watson, Licensing Chairman; Rosemary Smedile; Donald Stewart, Town Manager James Purcell; and Assistant Town Manager Ray Santilli. Rosemary Smedile made a MOTION, seconded by Donald Stewart, to move into Executive Session to discuss Litigation. Roll Call vote: William Gordon yes, Rosemary Smedile yes, Donald Stewart yes, Tracy Watson yes, Daniel Lanen yes. Vote approved 5-0. Chairman Daniel Lanen declared that an open meeting may have a detrimental effect on the bargaining position of the Selectmen. Litigation The Board received a letter from appraiser Gregory Cunha for the Pierce Pumper Engine 2. Based upon the description of the apparatus and the full factory warranty, it was appraised at a fair market value of $430,000.00. The Board questioned this appraisal because the base price with the extras came to $472,286.00. This is a huge $42,000 difference. The instruction given to the appraiser was go look at the truck as is and tell us what it's worth today. What is the depreciation? The question was "Did the Town get what they paid for?" Ray Santilli and Rosemary Smedile tried to contact Mr. Cunha today but he did not return a phone call. The Town wrote specs for a new vehicle and the Town bought a stock/demo vehicle and staff was aware of it. Interim Town Manager said that after reviewing all the documents that this was a rushed job done poorly. Assistant Town Manager said the Fire Department knew they were buying a stock vehicle and did not communicate that with the town. The only time the Town would have to justify the purchase if actions go publicly would be if the other company "Engine 1" could go to the AG office and complain. The Board wants the appraiser to clarify the value of what the truck was worth when delivered with all the bells and whistles and what it is worth now if depreciated. Chairman Lanen asked Rosemary Smedile to call the appraiser again and see if he could clarify his appraisal. ADJOURMENT: William Gordon made a MOTION, seconded by Rosemary Smedile, to move out of Executive Session. Vote approved 5-0. Respectfully submitted, Adele J.

("Pierce") of a fire engine, a Pierce Arrow XT 1500 GPM Pumper Fire Truck. The reason for the request is that the fire engine had an odometer reading of 12,221 miles when it was registered to the Town on April 18, 2011. In response to that request, we have reviewed the Town Manager's procurement file regarding the purchase, including the Invitation for Bids, the Specifications, the bid submitted by Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., and relevant correspondence. We have also met with the Fire Chief. Based upon our review, we have found the following: Chief Melnikas provided us with a chronological summary, which is attached hereto as Attachment 1. The Chief's chronology begins in September of 2010, with an email to Lt. McGuire from Robert Wilker concerning the price and availability of stock units from Pierce, which included a listing under "Pumpers" for a "Job 22615 Arrow XT" at a price of $474,731.00. The email to Lt. McGuire is referenced in a letter to Mark Rees from the Fire w:\wp51\work\n-andove\eonesp\selectmen.Itr -fire uvck.docx URBELIS & FIELDSTEEL, LLP June 3, 2011 Page 2 Chief dated May 31, 2011, which is attached hereto as Attachment 2. The May 31 letter from the Fire Chief points out that because the vehicle purchased was a "stock" vehicle, the Town was able to get a discount of approximately $35,000.00 from the listed price, and that the Town also received a two year warranty rather than the standard one year warranty. The Chief informed us that the Pierce Arrow that was ultimately purchased by the Town was brought to the Town for rWf/ oWtCIL7WTi7 viewing in September, 2010, and that vehicles from other companies were also brought to the Town at about the same time. The Chief also informed us that it is common for a company to drive a stock vehicle to shows at various locations across the country or Canada. It is approximately 800 miles from the Pierce facility in Wisconsin to North Andover. Subsequent to viewing the vehicles, the Fire Department prepared specifications for the purchase of a truck. Some questions regarding the specifications were brought to the attention of the Office of the tri, .- P��`cC Inspector General, who wrote a letter to Mark Rees dated January 3, 2011, outlining several general considerations when using highly technical specifications. (Attachment 3) An Invitation for Bids was issued by the Town on December 28, 2010. In response, two vendors submitted bids, which were reviewed by the Fire Chief. The bids were from Pierce, in Sr-cy—j ( 010 ()P_SfiQUC ? the base amount of $439,724.00, and from Emergency One, in the amount of $411,000.00. On February 7, 2011, a letter was submitted to Mark Rees from the Fire Chief stating the areas where, in his opinion, the Emergency One Bid was not responsive to the Invitation for Bids, and recommending that the contract be awarded to Pierce. On February 17, 2011, the contract between the Town and Pierce was signed, for the amount of $472,286.00, which included the base price plus options in the amount of $32,562.00 selected by the Town. On March 15, 2011, a Purchase Order for $472,286.00 was submitted by the Fire Department. On March 28, a URBELIS & FIELDSTEEL, LLP June 3, 2011 Page 3 representative of the Fire Department went to the Pierce facility in Wisconsin to inspect the truck, and approved it for delivery. The truck arrived at the North Andover Fire Department on April 1, 2011, and training tools place by the Pierce representative from April 4-8, 2011. Payment was made to Pierce on April 14, 2011. The Fire Department registered the vehicle, and the title was issued on May 6, 2011 to the Town of North Andover for a "New" vehicle, with an odometer reading of 12,221 miles. (Attachment 5) The foregoing facts raise the following issues for consideration: 1. The Specifications contain a number of references that would indicate the Town's intention to purchase a new vehicle with few miles, such as references to the "building" and "construction" of a vehicle, to a "new" chassis, and to the inspection of drawings,"before construction begins," which may raise issues of whether strict compliance with procurement laws occurred. 2. The bid submitted by Pierce referred to a "stock" vehicle, and the Fire Chief has told us that he and other members of the Fire Department were aware that the vehicle to be purchased was the "demo" vehicle they had seen in September. 3. Representatives of the Fire Department inspected the vehicle on at least three occasions before it was paid for and registered by the Town: when it was brought to the Town in September of 2010, when a representative of the Fire Department visited the Pierce factory in March, 2011, and after the vehicle was delivered to North Andover on April 1, 2011. 4. Whether the Town has sustained any damages, and in what amount, due to the fact that the vehicle had 12,221 miles when it was registered and the title issued to the URBELIS & FIELDSTEEL, LLP June 3, 2011 Page 4 Town. For example, did the Town receive what it paid for when it paid a base amount of $439,724? How is the Town damaged by not paying an additional amount for a brand new vehicle? To this point, the Fire Chief has indicated to us that, while he was not aware of the specific mileage until the vehicle was registered in April, 2011, he was aware that, as a "stock," or "demo" vehicle, it would have some mileage upon delivery to the Town. The Chief has also indicated to us that, even if he was aware of the actual mileage prior to the purchase in April, 2011, he would have recommended the purchase of the vehicle because of the reduced price, and his I1 �'Ifigf�� opinion of the high quality of the vehicle and its expected useful life. rV, OA cr FO Very truly yours, //1 i �, � f rr Thomas J.

ATTACHMENT 3 19be Commoniveattb of ag5arbu5at! Office of the 3n5ptctor general GREGORY W.;S.ULLIVAN INSPECTOR GENERAL Jan Mark Rees. Town Manager Town of Norah Andover 120' Main Street North Andover, MA 01545 Dear Mr: Rees; The Town of North Andover is writing specifications for the<procurement of fire vehicles: A review of this procurement highlights three important considerations when using highly technical specifications: (1) the: proper use of proprietaryspecifications; (2)use of ;brand names and the term "or equal" to accept other' brands or models on. an "or equal" basis; and (3) the M.G.L. c.3013 prohibition against exceptions. In addition, this Office reviewed whether the Town properly delegated authority to the individuals who authored the specifications. While our Office does not review and edit, specifications,, We can provide ,general information regarding proprietary specifications and delegations of purchasing authority. i hope the following information will be helpful. Proprietary, "Or Equal;" and Exception Specifications Proprietary specifications cite specific brand names or have the effect of restricting the procurement to one product and, accordingly, increasing costs. According. to M.G.L. c.3013, §14, you may use proprietary specifications only if "no,; other 'manner of description suffices, and even then you must provide a written justification for your decision and keep this document in yourprocurement file. You mush have a separate written rationale for each proprietary item that you exclusively required. If your specifications limit the procurement to one product, the specifications are proprietary and require a written rationale as to why it is in the Town's best interest to u90-9 proprietaryspecification. Failing to document your reason for the use, of the proprietary specification could not. only constitute a violation ofIM.G.L. c.3013, but could also result in. protests and a need to rebid. If you are not able to avoid, using proprietary specifications; you may still be able to foster competition. For example; if you are replacing warning lights on ail fire trucks, you may decide that the new warning lights should be the same brand and model as the previous warning lights in order to ensure compatibility and uniformity among all fire trucks. You may also have maintenance and warranty -rights that you would jeopardize Mark Rees January 3, 2011' .Page 2 if you installed another manufacturer's equipment. in cases such as this where there is a valid rationale for the use, you may specify the brand name: of the light manufacturer.. Since several dealers may sell the brand and model of warning lights you are seeking, you will still be able to obtain competitive quotes, bids, or proposals 'in response to your proprietary specifications. equiring a brand name.may .be ,avoided by describing the requirements to be. met` using an industry standard, or you may request a. brand name and use the term "or equal." to describe a. requirement while making it clear- :that other brands.arb acceptable.. However, do not assume, that by using the term "or equal" after a ,brand name specification you are not using a proprietary specification; Since -the awarding authority reserves the right to ,say what is equal, bidders will, not know whether the jurisdiction considers a supply or service equal until after the contract award. Instead, or in addition.to the brand name; the specifications should name all ,salient characteristics that the Town Will, use 'in comparing 'brands and determining whether a product other' than the named :brand :is equal': Generally, you -should write ,your specifications to describe how bidders must meet the requirements, as opposed 'to specifying a `brand name that bidders must equal. If you are unsure if an equivalent product exists, it is in your best interests to treat the procurement as proprietary, stating in writing why no other manner of description will suffice. Doing so will save the step of determining whether a substituted product is equal. .Specifications that allow a bidder to take "exceptions" do not complywith`M G -L. c.3013: In effecf, this approach would let bidders write their own specifications. Allowing each bidder to furnish its own specifications would not permit; real competition amongst bidders and would allow Town officials to exercise. favoritism in awarding the contracts. It is the Town's responsibility to define what it needs with as much specificity as possible so that bidders are offering supplies, services, and prices on a clearly .defined -- and level — playing: field. Delegations of Purchasing Authority Chapter, 8.08 allows.a Chief Procurement Officer (CPO); a purchasing agent, and other purchasing officials wide latitude to delegate powers and duties. to other officials. A delegation can. be specific and limited to. a particular purchase or class of purchases; or it can be more general. It is our understanding ;that. the Town Manager acts as the: CPQ. Any delegation of purchasing duties by the Town Manager' to North Andover personnel must be done in writing. The delegation is not effective unless the OIG receives a copy of the completed delegation form. 1 have attached a delegation form to this letter. A delegation filed. with our Office will remain in effect until the CP.O purchasing agent, or otherpurchasing official amends or revokes it, unless the delegation includes an expiration date, The CPO retains responsibility for overseeing the procurement and ensuring that the jurisdiction conducts the process in accordance with,state and local laws. Mark Rees January 3, 2011 Page 3 If North Andover has a charter, bylaw, or ordinance governing the exercise: of purchasing powers; any delegation of Chapter 30B powers and duties is subject ;to those provisions. For example, a bylaw that requires the town manager to purchase all supplies would prohibit the transfer of that responsibility through a Chapter 306 delegation. If you have any questions about your local procurement system, :contact your -CPO or legal counsel.. The law calls for clean lines of authority. If the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official is not involved' in day-to-day responsibility for procurement generally odor a particular procurement,then this is indicative of a need for a delegation:. Our Office advises governmental bodies .th';at the ;individual who is charged with day-to-day responsibility for procurement, including writing specifications, should be delegated authority. Individuals should not be writing specifications without delegated authority from the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official. Please feel free to contact this Office at 617-722-8838 if you have any further questions regarding proprietary specifications and delegations of purchasing authority. Sincerely, h4l. i' Barbara J. Hansberry General Counsel' ATTACHMENT Instructions Chief Procurement Officer's Delegation of Procurement Powers and Duties Form ` Chapter 301;, Section 19; of the General Laws authorizes the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO). of a govemmental body to delegate procurement: powers and duties to other employees of the governmental :body.

In actuality, the Pierce Manufacturing bid exceeded the -:.IFB in. the areas ofmaieriih workmanship, and chassis. ,A great deal of time was expended in the creation of the specifications for this engine:.

I've been told that at this past Tuesdays Selectmen's Meeting Assistant Manager Santilli stated he was awaiting "clarification" from Town Counsel on an "insurance issue" and that the contract was going to be sent to the vendor "by the end of the week." Since today is Friday and I have yet to hear any news on the contract, I am inquiring as to its disposition. My research has shown it has been almost one month since the contract was signed by the vendor and returned to the Town. I realize that contracts are complicated matters and these types of processes are never completed as rapidly as we'd like but can someone please explain what the specific cause for delay is and when we can expect a resolution? Further could this, or a longer delay, be grounds for the vendor to terminate the letter of intent for the pumper and offer the unit for sale again? I've been under the impression, based upon documents included in the IFB, that the Town is using its own contract and associated documents for the apparatus purchases. I'm puzzled that an "issue" has arisen since I assumed, incorrectly I surmise, that the documents would have been cleared by Counsel before being employed and would simply need signatures of both the vendor and the Town to execute. With whom does the "issue" rest, the Town or the vendor? Because the NAFD is borrowing a spare Lawrence Fire Dept. engine, I'm hoping the Town will get contract wrapped up in the near future. The LFD is due to rehire laid off firefighters and will need the apparatus back as their own spare. Additionally the vendor, Pierce, has an asset worth approximately half a million dollars sitting inside a garage awaiting the contract to return so they can finalize the sale of the rig and start to prepare it for delivery. A representative for the vendor has asked myself, and the Chief, what is holding up the contract but has yet to receive an answer. Has anyone contacted the vendor to make them aware of what the "insurance issue" and/or cause for delay is? This seems like a simple courtesy to extend to a vendor the Town is doing business with. As it stands now, the NAFD has been without an aerial device for more than 6 months. Speaking for myself, though I'm certain the rest of the NAFD would agree, I'd like to see the absence of aerial cease as soon as possible. It is my understanding that the contract for, as well as the letter of intent to purchase, the ladder have been sent to Pierce. Assuming the same contract is being used for the purchase of the ladder, what steps have been taken to ensure a similar "insurance issue" and extended delay does not arise with the ladder contract? Thanks in advance for your consideration.

URBELIS e-mail tju@uf-law.com Telephone 978-475-4552 June 3, 2011 Telephone 617-338-2200 Telecopier 617-338-0122 CONFIDENTIAL PROTECTED BY ATTORNEY-CLIENT PRIVILEGE Board of Selectmen North Andover Town Offices 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 RE: PURCHASE OF NEW FIRE ENGINE Dear Members: We have been asked by the Town Manager to review the recent purchase from Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. ("Pierce") of a fire engine, a Pierce Arrow XT 1500 GPM Pumper Fire Truck. The reason for the request is that the fire engine had an odometer reading of 12,221 miles when it was registered to the Town on April 18, 2011. In response to that request, we have reviewed the Town Manager's procurement file regarding the purchase, including the Invitation for Bids, the Specifications, the bid submitted by Pierce Manufacturing, Inc., and relevant correspondence. We have also met with the Fire Chief Based upon our review, we have found the following: Chief Melnikas provided us with a chronological summary, which is attached hereto as Attachment 1. The Chief's chronology begins in September of 2010, with an email to Lt. McGuire from Robert Wilker concerning the price and availability of stock units from Pierce, which included a listing under "Pumpers" for a "Job 22615 Arrow XT" at a price of $474,731.00. The email to Lt. McGuire is referenced in a letter to Mark Rees from the Fire w:\wp51hwork\n-andove\conesp\selectmen.lh'- fire nuck.docx URBELIS & FIELDSTEEL, LLP June 3, 2011 Page 2 Chief dated May 31, 2011, which is attached hereto as Attachment 2. The May 31 letter from the Fire Chief points out that because the vehicle purchased was a "stock" vehicle, the Town was able to get a discount of approximately $35,000.00 from the listed price, and that the Town also received a two year warranty rather than the standard one year warranty. The Chief informed us that the Pierce Arrow that was ultimately purchased by the Town was brought to the Town for viewing in September, 2010, and that vehicles from other companies were also brought to the Town at about the same time. The Chief also informed us that it is common for a company to drive a stock vehicle to shows at various locations across the country or Canada. It is approximately 800 miles from the Pierce facility in Wisconsin to North Andover. Subsequent to viewing the vehicles, the Fire Department prepared specifications for the purchase of a truck. Some questions regarding the specifications were brought to the attention of the Office of the Inspector General, who wrote a letter to Mark Rees dated January 3, 2011, outlining several general considerations when using highly technical specifications. (Attachment 3) An Invitation for Bids was issued by the Town on December 28, 2010. In response, two vendors submitted bids, which were reviewed by the Fire Chief. The bids were from Pierce, in the base amount of $439,724.00, and from Emergency One, in the amount of $411,000.00. On February 7, 2011, a letter was submitted to Mark Rees from the Fire Chief stating the areas where, in his opinion, the Emergency One Bid was not responsive to the Invitation for Bids, and recommending that the contract be awarded to Pierce. On February 17, 2011, the contract between the Town and Pierce was signed, for the amount of $472,286.00, which included the base price plus options in the amount of $32,562.00 selected by the Town. On March 15, 2011, a Purchase Order for $472,286.00 was submitted by the Fire Department. On March 28, a URBELIS & FIELDSTEEL, LLP June 3, 2011 Page 3 representative of the Fire Department went to the Pierce facility in Wisconsin to inspect the truck, and approved it for delivery. The truck arrived at the North Andover Fire Department on April 1, 2011, and training took place by the Pierce representative from April 4-8, 2011. Payment was made to Pierce on April 14, 2011. The Fire Department registered the vehicle, and the title was issued on May 6, 2011 to the Town of North Andover for a "New" vehicle, with an odometer reading of 12,221 miles. (Attachment 5) The foregoing facts raise the following issues for consideration: 1. The Specifications contain a number of references that would indicate the Town's intention to purchase a new vehicle with few miles, such as references to the "building" and "construction", of a vehicle, to a "new" chassis, and to the inspection of drawings, "before construction begins," which may raise issues of whether strict compliance with procurement laws occurred. 2. The bid submitted by Pierce referred to a "stock" vehicle, and the Fire Chief has told us that he and other members of the Fire Department were aware that the vehicle to be purchased was the "demo" vehicle they had seen in September. 3. Representatives of the Fire Department inspected the vehicle on at least three occasions before it was paid for and registered by the Town: when it was brought to the Town in September of 2010, when a representative of the Fire Department visited the Pierce factory in March, 2011, and after the vehicle was delivered to North Andover on April 1, 2011. 4. Whether the Town has sustained any damages, and in what amount, due to the fact that the vehicle had 12,221 miles when it was registered and the title issued to the URBELIS & FIELDSTEEL, LLP June 3, 2011 Page 4 Town. For example, did the Town receive what it paid for when it paid a base amount of $439,724? How is the Town damaged by not paying an additional amount for a brand new vehicle? To this point, the Fire Chief has indicated to us that, while he was not aware of the specific mileage until the vehicle was registered in April, 2011, he was aware that, as a "stock," or "demo" vehicle, it would have some mileage upon delivery -to the Town. The Chief has also indicated to us that, even if he was aware of the actual mileage prior to the purchase in April, 2011, he would have recommended the purchase of the vehicle because of the reduced price, and his opinion of the high quality of the vehicle and its expected useful life.

ATTACHMENT 3 GREGORY W.'sULLIVAN INSPECTOR GENERAL gibe Commanitieaitt of Mark Rees: Town.Manager Town of North Andover 1210° Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mr. Rees: Office of the �gnwctar otneral. The Town. of North Andover is writing specifications for the procurement of fire vehicles. A review of this procurement highlights three important considerations when using highly .technical specifications: (1`) the proper use.: of proprietary specifications; (2) use of :brand names and: the term "or equal" to 'accept other brands or models ,on an "or equal" basis; and (3) the M.G.L. c.30Bprohibition against exceptions. In addition, this Office reviewed whether the Town properly delegated authority to the individuals who authored the specifications. While our Office does- not review and edit specifications, we can provide general information regarding proprietaryspecifications and delegations of°purchasing authority. 1 hope the following information will be helpful. Proprietary, 'Or Equal, "and Exception Specifications Proprietary specifications cite specific brand names or have the effect Of restricting the procurement to: one product and, accordingly, increasing costs. According to M.GL. c.30B, §14, you may use proprietary specifications only if "no other manner of description suffices; and even then you must provide a written justification for your decision and keep this document in your procurement file. You must have a separate written rationale for each proprietary item that. you exclusively required if your specifications `limit the procurement to one product, the specifications are proprietary and require a written rationale as to why it is in the Town's best interest to use a proprietary specification. Failing to document your reason for the use of the proprietary specification could not only constitute a violation. of M.G.L. c.30B, but could also result in protests and a need to rebid.. If 'you are not able ito avoid using proprietary specifications, you may, still be -able .to foster competition. For example, if you are replacing warning lights on all fire trucks, you may decide that. the new warning lights should be the same brand and model as the previous warning lights in order to ensure .compatibility and -uniformity among all fire trucks. You may also have maintenance and warranty rights that you would jeopardize Mark Rees January 3, 2011 Page 2 if you installed another manufacturer's equipment. In cases such as this where there is a valid rationale for the use, you may spedify'the brandname of the light manufacturer. Since several dealers may sell the brand and model of warning lights you are seeking., you will still be able to obtain competitive quotes, bids, or proposals in response to your proprietary specifications. Requiring a. brand name may .be avoided by describing the requirements zto be met using an industry standard, or you, may request a. brand name and use the term "or equal to describe a'requirement while making it clearAhat other::brands are acceptable: However, do not assume that by using the term "or equal" :after a brand name specification you are. not using aproprietary specification. Since the awarding authority reserves the right to say what is equal, bidders will not know whether the jurisdiction considers a supply or service equal until after the :contract award. Instead, or in addition.to the brand name, the .specifications should name all salient characteristics: that the Town ;will.use in comparing brands and determining whether a product other than the named brand is 'equal. Generally, you should write your specifications to describe how bidders must meet the requirements, as opposed to specifying a 'brand name that bidders must equal. if you are unsure if an equivalent, product exists,, itis, in your best interests to treat the procurement as proprietary, stating in writing why no other manner of description will suffice. Doing so will save the step of determining whether substituted product is equal. Specifications that 'allow a bidder to take "exceptions" do not comply with M.G.L.: c. 30B. In effect, this approach would let bidders write their own specifications. Allowing each bidder to furnish its own specifications would :not permit real competition amongst .bidders and would allow Town officials to. exercise favoritism in awarding the contracts. It is the Town's responsi bJ Iityfo define what it needs with as much specificity as possible so that bidders are offering supplies, services, and prices on a clearly defined and; level. — playing field :Delegations of Purchasing. Authority Chapter 30B allows a Chief Procurement Officer (CPO), a purchasing agent, and other purchasing officials wide latitude to delegate powers and duties: to other officials: A delegation can be. specific and. jimited to a particular purchase or class of. purchases,:.or it can be, more general; It is our understanding that the Town Manager acts as the CPO. Any delegation of purchasing duties by the Town Manager to North Andover personnel must be done in writing. The delegation ,is not- effective unless the OIG receives a copy of the completed delegation form. I have' attached a:delegation form. to this letter. A delegation filed with our Office will, remain in effect until the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official.amends. revokes it, unless the delegation includes an expiration date. The CPO retains responsibility for overseeing the procurement and ensuring that the. jurisdiction conducts the process in accordance with state and local laws. Mark Rees January 3, 2011 Page 3 If North Andover ,has ;a charter, bylaw, or ordinance governing the exercise of purchasing powers, any delegation of Chapter 30B powers and duties is subject to those provisions. For example; a bylaw that requires the town Manager to purchase all supplies would prohibit the transfer of that responsibility through a Chapter 30B delegation. If you. have any questions about your local procurement system,> contact your:CP.O or legal counsel. The law calls for clean lines of authority. If the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official is not involvedin day-to-day` responsibility for procurement` generally. or fora particular procurement, :then- this is indicative of a need fora delegation. Our Office advises governmental bodies.that the individual who is charged with dray -to -day responsibility for procurement, including writing specifications, should be delegated authority. Individuals should not be writing specifications without. delegated authority from the. CPO, purchasing agent,: or other purchasing official: Please feel free to contact this Office at 6,,17=722-8838 if you have any further questions regarding proprietary specifications and delegations of purchasing authority: Sincerely, Barbara J. Hansberry General Counsel ATTACHMENT instructions Chief Procurement Officer's. Deiegation of Procurement Powers and Duties Form Chapter 3013„ Section 19 of the General Laws authorizes the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) of a governmental body to delegate procurement powers and duties to other employees of the governmental body, The CPO has great discretion in makIing a delegation — it can be very specific and limited,, or very broad. Also,,a CPO may issue more than one delegation at a time, Therefore; multiple people may have. delegated authority. Keep in mind that you may only delegate; powers you legally have under Chapter 3013and other applicable statutes, rules, regulations, charkets, ordinances, or bylaws. For example,,: where statues or other rules require that a contract: be approved by the mayor, city council, board of selectmen, or school committee, such final approval its not the CPO'sto delegate.

While Pierce followed the IFB, essentially to the letter,.Emergency One did not and this made the review process substantially more difficult. Yri addition, the Emergency One bid proposal did not meet the specifications in several. areas: • Delivery: Emergency One exceeds he'timeframe as outlined in IFB/ pg 1.2, • Frame:.Does not meet requirements for size and frame, pg 9 • Frontal' Impact Protection: Not included in bid submission • 'transmission: Does not meet the specifications fora six speed transmission + Front Suspension: Does not meet -the requirement , GVW, pg .10 Rear:Suspension Does not meet the rated axle capacity, pg 10 • Fuel Tank,: Fuel tank is smaller than specified; ,pg .16 • Cab The front and rear doors are narrower than required in the IFB :The height, is also. shorter than .in the IFB , pg 19 • Discharge Outlet ( front) ; Uses rubber hose for plumbing, not stainless steel • Frame reinforcement: Does.not meet requirements for size and strength, pg 9 • Front Drive Axle. Does not meet GVW and construction type • Engine:; Less peak torque, pg 1.4 • Exhaust'System :.Has 4" steel and the IFB requires 5 stainless steel • Transmission Shifter: Not the required, per specifications, ;transm ssion,,pg 14 • Steering Warranty: Only has one year, IFB required three year .2 • Tires: Rear tires different than IFB, front tires are highway tread, not alt season; as required. In addition, wheels are steel, not aluminum as required, pg 11 • Electric operated cab door windows: Windows are crank operated, not electric as specifications call for • Air Conditioning :Two condensers are called for in specifications, only provides for one. • Underbody Support System Made of aluminum, not steel as stated in the IFB, pg 4.1 • Valves: Has " t" handles ; not wheel -type as stated in the IFB for, larger discharges • Crosslay Hose Beds; Uses rubber hose for plumbing, not.stainless steel as specified, Pg 47 Regarding the bid put forth by Pierce Manufacturing, it was found that there were no areas in which they did' not meet;the IFB. In actuality, the Pierce Manufacturing bid: exceeded the IFB in. the areas of material, workmanship, and chassis. .A great deal of time was expended in the creation of the specifications for this engine. All of the requirements are backed by sound reasoning and judgment Given the monetary investmentthat the Town of North Andover is making, I strong lyrecommend. thafthe bid, entered by Pierce ,Manufacturing; be the choice. of. the Town. Thank you for your time, patience, and, above ally assistance in this matter.

As you can see from the email sent by Mr. Wilker, the list price for the model we purchased was $ 474, 731. As a result of this vehicle being " stock " or " demo " we were able to get a discount in the area of $ 35,000.00. In addition per the attached sheet titled, "Exceptions and Clarifications to Specifications, we received a two year warranty versus the standard of one year. I realize that the concern is as a result of the mileage on the vehicle. My error in judgment would be one of omission rather than commission. I would be willing to explain my decision to whatever forum you wish. Resp tf illy, f dre Melni s, Fire Chief Melnikas, Andrew From: Beirne, Mike Sent: Friday, May 27, 20114:34 PM To: Melnikas, Andrew Subject: Engine 2 Chief, It took me a little while, but I found what I was looking for. Below is a copy of one of the original emails from Bob to Tim. Per Bob's email, the original price for the truck was $474,731. The contract price, minus the options [they weren't part of the truck when Bob sent the first email] was $439,724 for a difference, or "savings" if it sounds better, of $35,007. The final price including options, as you know was in the $477,000 range. Note that our truck is stock # 22615 [indicated in bold red type] Pierce information. He is coming to station 2 on the 29th at 1700. It is more expensive than I thought it would be.

If one of the above units looks good let me know and I will go to the sales manager and see what kind of discount we can get. Leasing numbers maybe back tomorrow... I think the best bang for your buck on the pumpers would be jobs 22615 or 23733 both are a lot of truck for the money... Also if one of the Ladder trucks looks good let me know which one.. Its hard to ask for discounts without knowing what unit you want ..they are all different. If you can pick two we can put together a package with trades together with the lease which you can bring to the Town. The drawing that Dan Ryan has will show height and lenghth. OAH was 11 feet 3 inches.. I do not think it would fit at HQ.. PLEASE NOTE ABOVE PRICES ARE FOR BUDGET PURPOSES ONLY. Bob In addition to the "price break", the "Contract" does list the truck as a "stock" unit. Per the "Exceptions", we also received a two-year bumper -to -bumper warranty as opposed to the one year that was spec'd. Note that the "Exceptions" also show a 60 -day delivery time. I'm attaching copies of the "Contract" and "Exceptions" which show the items I mentioned. I hope this helps and apologize for the ongoing aggravation this whole process has caused. Our aim was to get the best truck we could for the Town in the shortest amount of time. I think we did so. Further, I thought that was clear to the Town. Please keep me updated on this issue. If I can be of further assistance, let me know.

The IFB states that " the detailed and comprehensive written proposals shall be submitted in the same sequence as the listed ` general requirements `and ` specifications' for ease of evaluation, comparison, and checking of compliance. While Pierce followed the IFB, essentially to the letter, Emergency One did not and this made the review process substantially more difficult. In addition, the Emergency One bid proposal did not meet the specifications in several areas: • Delivery: Emergency One exceeds the timeframe as outlined in IFB/ pg 1-2 • Frame: Does not meet requirements for size and frame, pg 9 • Frontal Impact Protection: Not included in bid submission • Transmission: Does not meet the specifications for a six speed transmission • Front Suspension: Does not meet the requirement, GVW, pg 10 • Rear Suspension: Does not meet the rated axle capacity, pg 10 • Fuel Tank: Fuel tank is smaller than specified, pg 16 • Cab : The front and rear doors are narrower than required in the IFB .The height is also shorter than in the IFB , pg 19 • Discharge Outlet ( front) ; Uses rubber hose for plumbing, not stainless steel • Frame reinforcement: Does not meet requirements for size and strength, pg 9 • Front Drive Axle : Does not meet GVW and construction type • Engine: Less peak torque, pg 14 • Exhaust System : Has 4" steel and the IFB requires 5" stainless steel • Transmission Shifter: Not the required, per specifications, transmission, pg 14 • Steering Warranty: Only has one year, IFB required three year 2 • Tires: Rear tires different than IFB, front tires are highway tread, not all season, as required. In addition, wheels are steel, not aluminum as required, pg 11 • Electric operated cab door windows: Windows are crank operated, not electric as specifications call for • Air Conditioning :Two condensers are called for in specifications, only provides for one • Underbody Support System : Made of aluminum, not steel as stated in the IFB, pg 41 • Valves: Has "t" handles , not wheel -type as stated in the IFB for larger discharges • Crosslay Hose Beds: Uses rubber hose for plumbing, not stainless steel as specified, pg 47 Regarding the bid put forth by Pierce Manufacturing, it was found that there were no areas in which they did not meet the IFB. In actuality, the Pierce Manufacturing bid exceeded the IFB in the areas of material, workmanship, and chassis. A great deal of time was expended in the creation of the specifications for this engine. All of the requirements are backed by sound reasoning and judgment. Given the monetary investment that the Town of North Andover is making, I strongly recommend that the bid, entered by Pierce Manufacturing, be the choice of the Town. Thank you for your time, patience, and, above all, assistance in this matter. I have attached a list of the options which we would like for this vehicle.Please call me should you have any further questions regarding this matter. e"4 Chief Andrew Melnikas Total 1 $481,033.001 Engine Pierce Arrow XT stock pump 22615 $439,724.00 X a. aluminum hosebed cover $7,399.00 X b. insta-chains $5,523.00 X C. 12V LED brow light $2,765.00 X d. 12V LED brow light $2,765.00 X e. radio antennas $274.00 X f. 6 strip outlet to shore line $322.00 X 9 "GORP" electrical connections $385.00 X h. hard suction trays $1,524.00 X i Opticom system $2,295.00 X J. 4 slot map box $494.00 X k.

SULLIVAN INSPECTOR GENERAL Tbit Commoftealtb of Anzacbuzettz Mark Rees Town Manager Town of North Andover 120 Main Street North Andover, MA 01845 Dear Mr. Rees: Office of the Inzpector Oenerat 20f1 j ri # >:= 71 McCORMACK ATIt ICE BUILDING El, BURTON PLACE M 1311 BOS , . MA 02108 TEL: _(6 7) 727-9140 FAx: (617)723-2334 The Town of North Andover is writing specifications for the procurement of fire vehicles. A review of this procurement highlights three important considerations when using highly technical specifications: (1) the proper use of proprietary specifications; (2) use of brand names and the term `or equal" to accept,other, brands or models on. an "or equal" basis; and (3) the 'M.G.L. c.3013 prohibition against.exceptions. In addition, this Office reviewed whether the Town properly delegated:.authority,t ' the individuals who authored the specifications. While our Office does not review and edit 4 specifications, we can provide general information regarding proprietary specifications and delegations of purchasing authority. I hope the following information will be helpful. Proprietary, "Or Equal, " and Exception Specifications Proprietary specifications cite specific brand names or have the effect of restricting the procurement to one product and, accordingly, increasing costs. According to M.G.L. c.3013, §14, you may use proprietary specifications only if ."no other manner of description suffices," and even then you must provide a written justification for your decision and keep this document in your procurement file. You must have a separate written rationale for each proprietary item that you exclusively required. If your specifications limit the procurement to one product, the specifications are proprietary and require a written rationale as to why it is in the Town's best interest to use a proprietary specification. Failing to document your reason for the use of the proprietary specification could not only constitute a violation of M.G.L. c.3013, but could also result in protests and a need to rebid. mil If you are not able to avoid using proprietary specifications, you, may still be able to foster competition. For example, if you are replacing warning .lights on all firearucks, you may decide that the new warning lights should be, the same brand and: model as the previous warning lights in order to ensure compatibility and..uniformity among all fire trucks. You may also have maintenance and warranty, rights that you would jeopardize Imo•' Mark Rees January 3, 2011 Page 2 if you installed another manufacturer's equipment. In cases such as this where there is a valid rationale for the use, you may specify the brand name of the light manufacturer. Since several dealers may sell the brand and model of warning lights you are seeking, you will still be able to obtain competitive quotes, bids, or proposals in response to your proprietary specifications. Requiring a brand name may be avoided by describing the requirements to be met using an industry standard, or you may request a brand name and use the term "or equal" to describe a requirement while making it clear that other brands are acceptable. However, do not assume that by using the term "or equal" after a brand name specification you are not using a proprietary specification. Since the awarding authority reserves the right to say what is equal, bidders will not know whether the jurisdiction considers a supply or service equal until after the contract award. Instead, or in addition to the brand name, the specifications should name all salient characteristics that the Town will use in comparing brands and determining whether a product other than the named brand is equal. Generally, you should write your specifications to describe how bidders must meet the requirements, as opposed to specifying a brand name that bidders must equal. If you are unsure if an equivalent product exists, it is in your best interests to treat the procurement as proprietary, stating in writing why no other manner of description will suffice. Doing so will save the step of determining whether a substituted product is equal. Specifications that allow a bidder to take "exceptions" do not comply with M.G.L. c.30B. In effect, this approach would let bidders write their own specifications. Allowing each bidder to furnish its own specifications would not permit real competition amongst bidders and would allow Town officials to exercise favoritism in awarding the contracts. It is the Town's responsibility to define what it needs with as much specificity as possible so that bidders are offering supplies, services, and prices on a clearly defined — and level — playing field. Delegations of Purchasing Authority Chapter 30B allows a Chief Procurement Officer (CPO), a purchasing agent, and other purchasing officials wide latitude to delegate powers and duties to other officials. A delegation can be specific and limited to a particular purchase or class of purchases, or it can be more general. It is our understanding that the Town Manager acts as the CPO. Any delegation of purchasing duties by the Town Manager to North Andover personnel must be done in writing. The delegation is not effective unless the OIG receives a copy of the completed delegation form. I have attached a delegation form to this letter. A delegation filed with our Office will remain in effect until the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official amends or revokes it, unless the delegation includes an expiration date. The CPO retains responsibility for overseeing the procurement and ensuring that the jurisdiction conducts the process in accordance with state and local laws. Mark Rees January 3, 2011 Page 3 If North Andover has a charter, bylaw, or ordinance governing the exercise of purchasing powers, any delegation of Chapter 30B powers and duties is subject to those provisions. For example, a bylaw that requires the town manager to purchase all supplies would prohibit the transfer of that responsibility through a Chapter 30B delegation. If you have any questions about your local procurement system, contact your CPO or legal counsel. The law calls for clean lines of authority. If the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official is not involved in day-to-day responsibility for procurement generally or for a particular procurement, then this is indicative of a need for a delegation. Our Office advises governmental bodies that the individual who is charged with day-to-day responsibility for procurement, including writing specifications, should be delegated authority. Individuals should not be writing specifications without delegated authority from the CPO, purchasing agent, or other purchasing official. Please feel free to contact this Office at 617-722-8838 if you have any further questions regarding proprietary specifications and delegations of purchasing authority. ATTACHMENT Sincerely, Barbara J. Hansberry General Counsel Instructions Chief Procurement Officer's Delegation of Procurement Powers and Duties Form Chapter 3013, Section 19, of the General Laws authorizes the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) of a governmental body to delegate procurement powers and duties to other employees of the governmental body. The CPO has great discretion in making a delegation — it can be very specific and limited, or very broad. Also, a CPO may issue more than one delegation at a time. Therefore, multiple people may have delegated authority. Keep in mind that you may only delegate powers you legally have under Chapter 30B and other applicable statutes, rules, regulations, charters, ordinances, or bylaws. For example, where statues or other rules require that a contract be approved by the mayor, city council, board of selectmen, or school committee, such final approval is not the CPO's to delegate. You must complete and sign one delegation form for each delegation .of powers and duties, and for each subsequent amendment or revocation of an original delegation. Step-by-step instructions are listed below. 1. Check the appropriate box. 2. Provide the name of the CPO, the jurisdiction name, and list the official title and department of the employee position receiving this delegation. Also, list the full name of the employee currently in this position. 3. Check as many boxes as apply. If you wish to delegate powers and duties in addition to, or other than, those listed on the form, check "Other" and specify the powers and duties you are delegating in an attachment. 4. Check as many boxes as apply. If necessary, list additional departments or contracts in an attachment. If you wish to restrict the delegation in some way other than those listed on the form, check "Other" and specify the requirements in an attachment. 5. Check as many boxes as apply. If you wish to impose requirements not listed on the form, check "Other" and specify the requirements in. an attachment. 6. Enter the expiration date, if any. If there is no scheduled expiration date, enter "Not Applicable." 7. Enter the name of your jurisdiction. Sign and date the delegation form. List your name, official title, department, office address, and office telephone number. Also, indicate whether. or not you have MCPPO certification. 8. Send a copy of this form to the Office of the Inspector General at the address provided on the bottom of the form.

Is the ladder still going to be a week behind? [Santilli, Ray]Probably two weeks behind 2. What would you estimate is the timeframe for the contract execution and PO issuance? [Santilli, Ray] Depends on the company and how long it will take them to sign the contract, submit insurance certificates, etc. 3. On the last spec doc I sent, the two EMS compartments and associated lighting are listed consecutively on pgs 28 and 29. [Santiiii, Ray]I'll add the second compartment back in. 4. OK, hope we're not cutting it too close[Santi//i, Ray] Changed to 60 days 5. Please list the single brow light as a separate option [Santilli, Ray] Will do 6. thanks 7. thanks Please forward me a copy with changes requested above.

Lt Michael Beirne North Andover Fire Dept. 124 Main St. North Andover Mass. 01845 From: Santilli, Ray Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 8:46 AM To: Beirne, Mike; Melnikas, Andrew; McGuire, Tim; Weir, John Subject: RE: Pumper Truck Specs See Comments below Santilli Assistant Town Manager Town of North Andover From: Beirne, Mike Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 7:47 PM j, • ''' To: Santilli, Ray; Melnikas, Andrew; McGuire, Tim; Weir, John Subject: RE: Pumper Truck Specs Ray, After reviewing the doc, here are a few comments: 1. At one of our recent meeting, Mark set the closing date as 1/14 and the award dates as 1/21. It was noted that the closing date listed in the IFB is 1/21. Why was this changed? Is it so both bids [pump and ladder] close on the same day since the ladder is to go out next week? [Santilli, Ray]Closing date was set after further discussion with Town Manager. The award date will be dependent on the actual execution of the contract and issuance of purchase order. 2. The footer states "...100' Aerial Ladder Truck". This should be changed to reflect the pumper. [Santilli, Ray] Done 3. In the spec I sent you, there were two [2] EMS compartments listed. It was written as such because this is what we speed. They are to be located on the rear wall of the cab, just inside the rear crew doors. It is a different configuration than we currently have but will provide the same amount of storage space. In the IFB there is only one [1] listed. One compartment this size is simply too small. Did you delete it because you thought it was redundant? I know you asked me several questions or requested clarifications over the past week so this omission caught us by surprise. With this in mind, I expected that there would be no changes/deletions etc made to the vehicle itself without an inquiry as to why something was set up as it is/was. Please include both compartments are in the final document. [Santilli, Ray]You may be correct that I thought two paragraphs were repetitive. Please give me a page reference (either my specs or yours) for me to review. 4. It has also been noted that the delivery time in the IFB is 45 days. This was also discussed in our meetings and we thought we agreed on 60 days? Believe me, we want to see something here ASAP, but we want to make sure we don't leave ourselves short on delivery time.[Santi//i, Ray] Delivery date was set by Town Manager. 5. Under "option c" of the IFB, as compared to the doc I sent you, we had an additional option for only one brow light. We did this as a way to allow us to save some more money if we were close to maxing out our funds. Could you find a way to include the option for a single brow in an "either /or" manner i.e. either 2 brow lights or only 1 brow light depending on our final decision after the bids are received? [Santilli, Ray]If you mean "The option for one brow light center will also be provided" then that should be listed as a separate option for a company to bid. Please let me know. 6. Would you please modify "Option n" by including the word "slotted" before 'Tool mounting boards"? We have the same type on our current pumps and want to be more specific in describing what we desire. [Santilli, Ray] Done 7. Will this be posted on Goods and Services next week, 12/28?[Santi//i, Ray]Already submitted for posting next week in `Goods and Services Bulletin' as well as advertisement in Eagle -Tribune Let me know your thoughts. In the meantime we'll look this over some more. When are our "final" comments due?[Santi//i, Ray]AII comments should be provided no later than 12:00 noon on Monday, December 27th. If you make the suggested, or any other, changes please forward so we can review. Thanks for your efforts.

Ray, Did some more research and have more for you: i Tol' Hooks: After looking it over a couple times, I think it could be deleted. I guess there's no reason to write about ,something we didn't spec and don't want. Bulkhead: This is just a fancy name for the back of the truck. It is called a bulkhead because there is a compartment located behind it and the area above it doubles as a step up to the hosebed. There is a switch located there which turns on the lights for the hosebed. I have a picture of it if you'd like to see it. Would you prefer that it was simply in lowercase and not CAPS? From: Beirne, Mike Sent: Friday, December 17, 2010 3:27 PM To: Santilli, Ray Subject: RE: Questions??? Here are my answers: Asmper: Yes they are addressed elsewhere in the spec but only the following apply — air horns, mechanical siren, speakers, hose tray, discharge connection. The rest can be deleted — would you like me to do so and send to you or do you want to do so for this and other changes below? 14'0'w Hooks: the lift and tow mounts are spec'd and described just before/above on p 26 of my copy of the spec Q6mpt It: There are a couple headings like this. They are meant to refer to the compt described immediately before it. `Would you prefer they be under the same heading? /auges: Agreed, could have been clearer. The nine are Voltmeter, Engine tach, Speedo, Fuel gauge, Engine oil press., Front air press., Rear air press., Trans oil temp., Engine coolant temp /mp draw report: I'll get back to you on this anual etc.: This is at the end of the chassis portion of the spec and refers to those components which make up the chassis, hence its inclusion at this point in the spec. D/rear rear bulkhead: I can't seem to find this can you give me a page [either your number or mined so I have a "ballpark" o where to look? I'm looking into the cab crash question still and hope to have an answer for you by Mon. Santilli, Ray From: Beirne, Mike Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 8:44 AM To: Santilli, Ray Subject: Specs Ray, Here are answers to 2 of your questions: CAB INTEGRITY CERTIFICATION: All of the 3 entries listed first are required under NFPA 1901. The following three are over and above the minimum criteria for NFPA 1901 and ensure we receive the safest cab possible. As a result, all 6 items must remain in the spec. AMP DRAW REPORT: We want BOTH. The report is req'd under 1901. The reasoning for both is first, the manufacturer needs to obviously include it as part of their bid on the spec so we know we're getting it and then second, they must provide the report at time of delivery to prove they have actually done what they said they would and both complied w/ the spec and 1901. Any other questions, let me know. I'm at the station today.

The highlighted items are proprietary to Pierce. The red items are errors or alternatives that should be considered. The highlighted (in yellow) items would be the same in the pumper specs. I below am listing the major items that concern me. I'll try to have more, but this should be enough to get some people thinking about getting the best bang for $ 1,300,000. There are so many inconsistencies in the specifications for both rigs that it is actually mind boggling. Major items are: • Detroit Diesel ( Now owned by Mercedes Benz) is proprietary to Pierce. Cummins, based in Indiana, makes an excellent diesel. By specifying Detroit, the only bidder can be Pierce. Detroit Diesel is a much more expensive diesel. Many cities use Cummins ( read Lawrence) with no problems. For anyone to say that NA must have Detroit Diesel insults your intelligence. • The pumper is built of all aluminum. The ladder truck body is stainless steel " Due to the superior corrosion resistance of 300 stainless grades..." What is good for one unit is not good for the other ? Both units should be stainless steel. It is no more expensive. The reason that the specs are written like this is because the NAFD took the specs for 2 Pierce already built demonstrators as their own. Then Pierce sold the demonstrators to someone else and NA kept the same specifications. Duh! • Same thing for tires. One rig has Michelin, the other Goodyear. What happened to common parts etc. • The Waterous pump issue. Waterous is the standard with Pierce, Hale is basically standard for everyone else. By specifying Waterous who gives preference to Pierce, guess what? • On the technical side, I do not understand why they are specing a "Jacobs Engine Brake". This is an engine braking device to slow down the apparatus. This device operates best at high engine speeds and not so well at low speeds. I strongly recommend a transmission retarder, part of the Allison transmission. Maybe more expensive, but well worth it. Two sirens, one mechanical, one electronic. Ridiculous! They need to delete both and replace with one electronic siren, a Federal Q2E. It has the same sound as the mechanical and much less demand on the electric system. Chicago and FDNY have standardized on the Q2E. If its good enough for them, it should be good enough for NA! Does NA really need a Class A foam system ? Never required before ? Nice to have? I found out it costs about $ 10,000. Many departments have Class A foam, many do not. It's a frill that maybe should be held off. Jim Regan Starr Tech -Chicago E Mail: James.
