APPARATUS UPDATE 

We have begun the process of purchasing new apparatus with the debt service fund. All vehicles (except the response vehicles) will be built by Toyne Inc. in Iowa. The chassis for the Quad is being built by Spartan Chassis . Once the chassis is built it will be inspected by Spartan Engineers and by the departments Truck Committee to make sure it was built to the specs submitted. It will then move to the Toyne plant in Iowa where the body that contains the pump and compartments will be built and installed. The chassis for the Pumper-Tanker is being built by Navistar. Once the chassis is built it will be inspected by Navistar Engineers and by the Departments Truck Committee to make sure it was built to the specs submitted. It will then move to the Toyne plant in Iowa where the body that contains the pump and compartments will be built and installed. Once the bodies are built at Toyne they will also be inspected by the Departments Truck Committee to make sure it was built to the specs that were submitted. The estimated delivery date for the apparatus is April 2012.
