RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the purchase of one mechanical hose washer and one forced air hose dryer from Cirul Air Corp. for Fire Station 47 in the amount of$25,435. BACKGROUND Dependable firefighting hose is an integral part of performing the tasks necessary to keep property damage to a minimum during a fire. The Elgin Fire Department annually tests and maintains its fire hose to get the maximum amount of use out of this important piece of equipment. The fire hose washer and dryer are part of this maintenance as the hose washer removes the particles of fire debris and chemicals that will degrade or damage the outer jacket of the fire hose. The fire hose dryer allows the hose to dry at a controlled temperature and rate which extends the life of the inner rubber lining. The Elgin Fire Department has used Circul Air fire hose washers and dryers since the 1950's and has had excellent service from these units. There are no other companies that manufacture mechanical fire hose washers and dryers other than Cirul Air. One price quote was received from the manufacturer—Circul Air.
