The Fire Department created a truck committee months ago and has spent a great <br />deal of time researching other city's ladder trucks and also creating the specifications of a vehicle <br />that will meet the needs of Ramsey both today and into the future. The committee used a format <br />similar to that used by the City of Coon Rapids. With this format the specs are considerably less <br />detailed because of many references made to OSHA and NFPA (National Fire Protection <br />Agency) standards. The prospective bidders must comply to the latest revision of all those <br />standards. The committee feels this specifications format will provide the ability for a larger <br />number of vendors to participate in the bidding process. The specs were summarized as follows: <br /> <br />· 100 foot aerial platform apparatus <br /> <br />Finance Committee/May 14, 2002 <br /> Page 1 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
