Farmington (ME) Fire Department is expecting a new $831,405 engine in the next two years after voters appropriated the funds for the apparatus at a special town meeting on Tuesday night, according to a report published by the Daily Bulldog.
According to the report, there was minimal discussion of the appropriation which will take money from the town’s undesignated funds account to pay for the apparatus in full to take advantage of a pre-payment discount.
Farmington asked for bids from six different companies and got one back from a Pierce dealer in Massachusetts, according to the report that added the bid was for $861,405 with a $30,000 discount for the prepayment and it might take 24 months for the new truck to be delivered.
