Clallam County Fire District No. 3 commissioners have approved up to $52,000 for the department to purchase a facility maintenance van.
Fire Chief Ben Andrews also discussed asking voters this November to renew the district’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) levy, which expires Dec. 31, 2020, and staff provided background research on personal protection equipment for active-shooter scenarios during the March 19 meeting.
Andrews said Price Ford of Port Angeles was the only one of three requests for proposals returned that matched the district’s criteria for a maintenance vehicle. It also was the lowest bid, Andrews said. Commissioners approved the motion 3-0.
“We have a firm purchase price on the $46,000 and some change,” Andrews said.
