No. 5 to Cooperative Contract Purchase Addendum (CCPA) (Contract No. 2025299) between the City of
Buckeye, an Arizona municipal corporation, and Sutphen Corporation, an Ohio corporation, for the

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOCUS AREAS: 
A Safe and Sustainable Quality of Life
SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Public Works is seeking approval to purchase one (1) Sutphen heavy-duty rescue pumper, fire truck.  
BENEFITS:
The acquisition of a new pumper truck is essential to provide the Fire Department with mechanically
sound, heavy-duty rescue pumpers. Dependable fleet equipment is critical to ensuring the Fire
Department can deliver life-saving services to residents in emergency situations. Without a new
apparatus, reserve units, many of which are approaching 20 years old, would need to be deployed. As
equipment ages beyond its expected life, components become increasingly prone to breakdown,
resulting in higher maintenance costs and extended downtime. These delays compromise the
department’s ability to respond promptly to emergencies. Older vehicles are also more likely to
experience major component failures, such as engines or transmissions. These failures are not only
costly to repair but significantly hinder the Fire Department’s ability to fulfill its mission of protecting the
community. Investing in a new pumper truck will reduce operational risks, lower maintenance expenses,
and ensure reliable service delivery for critical, life-or-death situations.
