Staff requests approval to make the purchase through the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) cooperative purchasing program, which provides competitive pricing for fire service response vehicles and is utilized as a preferred procurement mode for the majority of state and local fire departments in North Carolina. While this truck purchase is in the FY 18\/19 capital budget, the final pricing for the vehicle is $339,429, which is an overall overage of $4,429 from the budgeted amount; however, funds are available to cover this $4,429 shortfall due to savings on other budgeted vehicles and equipment.
