Residents in Riverside Village (IL) will have new fire apparatus protecting the community after the village board members voted to purchase a new Pierce Enforcer pumper for $698,000, according to a report published by the Riverside-Brookfield Landmark.
According to the report, the new engine cost $698,000 and is being paid for with some of the roughly $1.2 million the village received from the American Rescue Plan Act fund. And, because the apparatus was bought through a consortium of government agencies purchasing program, the village did not have to go through a competitive bid process, the report said.
The new engine will be completed within 18 to 20 months, according to the report.
