$24,817.20
In Plain English
The fire department needs specialized equipment to rescue people trapped in collapsed trenches or excavation sites. Federal homeland security grants will cover the full $24,817 cost. Only one company makes this type of rescue equipment, so the city cannot seek competitive bids.
