City Council Report 
 
Date: 
August 17, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of One E-One Cyclone 
Custom Cab Utility Truck (Replacement) for the Mesa Fire and Medical 
Department (Funded by 2024 Public Safety Bonds) (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended.  
 
The Mesa Fire and Medical Department and Procurement Services recommend authorizing 
the purchase using the Sourcewell cooperative contract with Fire Truck Solutions in an 
amount not to exceed $1,670,501, based on estimated requirements.   
 
Background / Discussion 
 
The Mesa Fire and Medical Department is requesting the purchase of one E-One Cyclone 
Custom Cab Utility Truck as an essential need to support critical emergency operations. 
The current unit, a 2003 model with 131,000 miles, has exceeded its reliable service life 
and no longer meets the operational demands placed on it. A new utility truck will provide 
dependable on-scene air supply, portable lighting for nighttime and low-visibility incidents, 
and rehabilitation support to ensure firefighter health and safety during extended 
operations. Replacement of the aging unit with a modern, dependable utility truck will 
reduce downtime, lower maintenance costs, and ensure consistent availability of essential 
support functions during emergency responses. Because fire apparatuses currently take 
two to three years from order to delivery, it is necessary to initiate purchases well in 
advance. The unit being replaced will be traded, auctioned or sold. 
 
The Sourcewell cooperative contract has been competitively bid and meets the City’s 
procurement requirements. Utilizing the Sourcewell contract allows the City to receive 
competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is 
fair and reasonable and that soliciting for this single unit would not result in the City 
receiving more favorable pricing or terms.
