BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The City & County of Honolulu Emergency Medical Services Department donated four(4) ambulances and <br /> they will be used primarily as backup units for our fleet in the event that the front-line vehicles go out of <br /> commission. This process ensures no disruption of emergency medical services to Hawaii Island. <br /> In addition, the Honolulu Fire Department donated one (1) 1997 Pierce Fire engine and two (2) 1999 Pierce <br /> Fire engines to the Hawaii Fire Department. These engines will be utilized in our reserve fleet. <br /> Young Brothers was our selected shipper. Through their Community Shipping Program, they shipped all <br /> seven vehicles for free (gratis) and we only paid for the Wharfage charge. The total cost to ship all seven <br /> vehicles from Honolulu to Hilo would have been $20,966.21. Instead, we paid a total of$4,480.52. Young <br /> Brothers' donation saved the Hawaii Fire Department $16,485.69. We are very grateful to Young Brothers <br /> and their Community Shipping Program. <br /> SIGNED: DATE: (2 123 <br /> Department Head <br />
